Birchenwood (Kidsgrove)
August 29th, 2011The houses shown in these photographs were built on a brownfield site at Birchenwood, near Kidsgrove. Before being landscaped and made into a country park, Birchenwood was a hive of industry. During the 19th century it was part of the Clough Hall estate. At different times in its history there have been coal mines, an ironworks, a chemical factory, a brickworks and coke ovens on the site. The North Staffordshire Railway Company’s “loop line” from Etruria to Kidsgrove ran through it and a mineral railway was constructed to carry coke to ironworks in the Biddulph Valley.
