Heath Common Pinfold 1, Looking into it

The pinfold was used to house stray animals which roamed onto private land and a fee was charged for their release. Local historical records show that in 1842 a Pinder charged farmers 1/- per cow and 4d per sheep for their release and that the Pinder kept these charges as his wage. The nearby Whittling Well was used to water animals which would have been kept within the pinfold. Buried for years under rubble in an area used for fly tipping, in Autumn 2000 there was talk about restoring the pinfold, it was completed in 2006.
