Former colliery railway
The footpath runs along the trackbed of the mineral railway which served Hilton Main Colliery. In the early 1960s as a child I was often taken by my mother to see a small diesel engine pulling a trainload of coal. This would happen every day at around 4pm.
The line was an extension of the Wolverhampton and Cannock Chase Colliery's Line to the Essington and Holly Bank pits. There was a connection to the Walsall to Cannock Line at Norton. A spur ran to the Rosemary Brick and Tile Works.
