Cutacre Tip, Little Hulton

The Cutacre Tip at Little Hulton was the largest remaining colliery spoil tip in Lancashire. Mine waste was initially deposited around the early collieries at Wharton Hall but it was in the 20th century that the tip developed to its present size as valley of the Cutacre Brook, became the dumping ground for mine waste from the larger Brackley Colliery to the north and from Moseley Common Colliery to the south east. This continued until the last of these collieries closed in the 1960s.
