Staffordshire / Re: Eastwall, Cheadle 1841 census
« on: Monday 10 May 21 23:26 BST (UK) »
Hello,
The canal cottages were owned by a local coal master called John Leigh who operated mines around Cheadle. The coal was trammed to the Uttoxeter Canal at East Wall, which I guess is where your boatmen came in. The canal was not a success, opened in 1811 but closed in 1849, after which the cottages were demolished and the farmhouse was built.
