Hassel green is a small village that lies about 3 miles outside of sandbach and about 4 miles from congleton. Hassel green fields could well be a village term for the area that lay just to the on the outskirts of the village.
i note you say george was a salt miner, up untill about 1880 there was a small salt mine in a place called malkins bank which is situated to this day about three miles from the area you are interested in. I can find no actual maps for the period naming hassel green fields which is why i think it may be a local name, this is quite common in and around cheshire even today.
