Unglazed brickwork carved in bas-relief. The mural depicts mining and agricultural traditions associated with the area. Poynton Hall, a local Victorian magnates imposing castellated mansion long since demolished, appears is on the skyline. Towards the right of the design are elements of the area’s mining tradition: buildings past and present include the canal bridge and pithead winding gear and two miners with their lamps walk down a roughly surfaced street. An old man accompanied by his collie dog sits to the side wistfully contemplating the past.
