The Hawkins family were a prominent family in the area in the 19th century.
During the 19th century the area was known colloquially as the Wyrley Bank (in the local dialect Wyrley Bonk).
Before World War II there was a cinema at the top of Rosemary Road, on the site much later occupied by Barts Motors. The housing stock has grown significantly in each post-war decade, with suburban expansion into surrounding fields.
Cheslyn Hay became part of an investigation into the unsolved murder in 1993 of Kuwaiti businessman Adnan al Sane when his battered severed head was found there having been thrown into the playing field of the then High School. The victim, whose body was found in Manchester, had no connection with this area and despite his successful identification, the murderers were never traced.[2]
Business and industryEdit
Station Street is the main street with some small shops. A major employer in the village is B.S. Eaton Ltd, a manufacturer of concrete products who operate a fleet of distinctive orange trucks. Another large employer is PP Control & Automation Ltd, a manufacturer of automation machinery.
EducationEdit
The old Primary School was situated on the site bounded by Hatherton Street, Pinfold Lane, Hill Street and High Street. It was constructed circa 1883 and demolished in the 1990s and the land used for new housing. An additional modern building on the opposite side of Pinfold Lane was used for school meals and gym.
The village is now served by two primary schools (Glenthorne Primary School and Cheslyn Hay Primary School) and by one secondary school, Cheslyn Hay Academy.
