Most of the roads around this brand new housing estate are named Cinderloo Way, presumably in recognition of the Cinderloo Uprising (Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderloo_Uprising ) which took place in this area in April 1821. A large number of miners, disgruntled at a pay cut, took on the Shropshire Yeomanry, who had been called in to keep the peace. The disturbances led to 3 deaths, including the subsequent hanging of one of the ringleaders of the strikers.
