| Pott Shrigley lies on the very edge of the National Park, with its centre at only 185 metres above sea level, though the road westwards into the Peak climbs quickly up to 354 metres near Brink Farm, from where there are fine views towards Kinder Scout.
The main part of the village clusters around the church, which dates from the 15th century. The chief local mansion, Pott Hall, is now a nursing home. Up the road towards Kettleshulme and Whaley Bridge there is a small industrial estate in the buildings of a former brickworks. This was powered by locally mined low-grade coal, of which there is an abundance in thin seams on these hill-tops. |
