Part of a 1930s Council Estate built by Ince Urban District Council. Most of the houses were allocated to railwaymen who worked at Springs Branch sheds, on the nearby London-Glasgow line. Although local coal miners were also crying out for houses they lost out to the railwaymen who were less likely to be put on short-time working, or have their pay reduced by their employers.
