The pinfold was restored by a group of local volunteers from Kingsley Parish with help from a CVLLP grant.

The pinfold has been in existence since mid 19th century, used as an enclosure for stray animals.

Volunteers dug it out and removed a century of tipped rubbish, in particular a lot of interesting glass bottles. They restored the dry stone walls and planted the surrounding area with daffodil bulbs.

This wooden footbridge crosses the Churnet near Ross Bridge, Whiston. 

This stone shows the original grooves used to slot the bars in to create a gate quickly and cheaply.
