Cawley Nursery

When I was a young lad my bedroom window looked east towards the hills and prominent on the first ridge rising from the Cheshire Plain was a plantation of beech trees known as Cawley Nursery. This stood at the uppermost point of Sir George Warren's Poynton Park. Today many of the trees have fallen due to their age and the plantation is much reduced. The mound at centre right is the spoil heap of an eighteenth century coal pit.
