Colliery Fire

Colliery Fire
Plaque in the former Hockley Methodist Chapel (now Poynton Christian Fellowship) commemorating the successful extinguishing of the fire in the local pits. The colliery report for 1849 states:

'On 26th January last we had an awful fire in three of the pits, Lord Pit, Lady Pit, and Albert Pit, which, I am thankful to say, was providentially extinguished without the loss of life.'
