Pot Green conservation area focuses on a small, tightly knit group of cottages which have evolved through the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and remain set in a woodland landscape.
The hamlet, which is located at the southern base of Holcombe Hill, represents an early stage in the industrial history of the area being based on the cottage industries of spinning and weaving. Archaeological remains also suggest the siting of two small water-powered mills in the wooded area between Pot Green and Woodhey Road.
The conservation area is now tightly enclosed by modern development to the south and the woodland to the north but has survived as a distinct and relatively unaltered group of vernacular, largely stone buildings of architectural and historic interest.
