Alma Cottages


The Alma Cottages on Coppice Road,Poynton, stand on the site of the Worth Old Engine. This was one of the first pumping engines to be erected on the Worth colliery and was certainly in use in 1793 when it was just known as Worth Engine. It was probably erected for Peter Downes of Shrigley who was the owner of the Manor of Worth and it was sold to Sir George Warren, with the Manor of Worth and associated collieries, by his son Edward Downes after his father's death in 1791. The engine was of the Newcoment atmospheric type and drained workings in the Four Foot and maybe the Five Foot seams in this part of the estate.
By 1826 the pumping had been moved to a Boulton and Watt type engine at the bottom of Anson Road. The Old engine Pit had been abandoned along with the Clayton Pit on the other side of Coppice Road which was used for winding coal. At that time all that remained was the engine beam in 2 parts, arch heads, beam gudgeon with pedestals and the carpenters shop at the Old Engine.
