The Foxwood estate appears as newly constructed on immediate post WWII mapping (OS 1:1250 43/3884). Consists overwhelmingly of simple semi detached properties with front and rear gardens. This section of the estate was built within surveyed enclosures on the former Hollins End Common on which the nineteenth century Intake Colliery (shown 1851) was sunk. The colliery is surrounded on the 19th century mapping by small scale 'coal pits' (probable bell pits) which may date to earlier post-medieval mineral exploitation on the fringes of the common land. No legibility of earlier landscapes although significant subsurface remains are likely. Possible Coke ovens shown on 1851 OS. By 1891 the remains of the collieries appear to have been levelled.
