Monument record TR 25 SW 354 - Woolage village miners settlement

Summary

Woolage Village was a new village built during the 1920s on farmland near Arthur Burrs mine at Snowdown for the benefit of his workers. The Fourth Edition Ordnance Survey map shows a triangular estate of approximately sixty homes which survive to this day. An area on the eastern boundary was set aside for a septic tank which was possibly intended for a future sewage treatment works when the village expanded. A post office and hall were also provided on a separate site neither of which survive above ground.
