Manager's office
The maintenance for Poynton Collieries was undertaken at Towers Yard and most of the buildings there have been converted for housing for a number of years. This range comprising, fronm the left, oil & grease store, engineer's stores and the yard manager's office, have resisted development until now. They have been sold to a developer and preparations were being made for work to start on conversion and extension to form a three bedroom bungalow. Some tree clearance had already been undertaken and the safety fencing was ready for erection when I visited. On reflection it is a good thing that these redundant structures are to find a new use, albeit in vastly modified form. The nearby gasfitters' and plumbers' workshop is to be made into a gym and home office as part of the works.
