The village was originally nothing more than a woodland. The arrival of the Lilleshall Company and its mineral railway saw the area around Snedshill and Mumpton Hill was developed with houses, industries and roads. ^[1] There was also a brickworks owned by the Lilleshall Company that operated in the village until its closure in 1966.
