Cheadle Walk

In spite of a little rain towards the end, the Cheadle Walk went swimmingly.

Heather Clark, who sadly passed away a few months ago, was to take us around her Cheadle Walk, using the book she produced for the Heritage Trust.

We decided to do the walk in her honour, using her very popular book.

Twelve people turned out, for what proved to be an enjoyable evening.

Thank you Heather.

First Heritage Walk + Dungeon

A new programme of walks has been put together for 2011.

Next walk Saturday 9th July will be around the 'Old Town', hear about the red light district of Stockport, the history of Castle Yard and look inside the towns dungeon.


The Old Town Walk by Jim Clare on May 14^th - June 18^th – July 9^th – Aug. 13^th – Oct. 8^th, takes around 2 hours.

They are all on Saturdays and a charge of £5 is made, £2.50 for Trust Members.

All start at 12 noon, from the Tourist Information Centre, where you can book your place. (Suitable for wheelchairs). The Trust can also do individual walks for groups of 10 or more at a reduced rate. See website for details.

Graveyard Clean Up

Nine willing volunteers turned out last Saturday, to clear weeds and nettles from the 'Secret Graveyard' at St. Mary's church in the Market Place.

The main reason for the workday was to enable the graves to be read, prior to a Gaveyard Walk on Sat 11th June, by Jill Trumble.

It takes approx. one and a half hours and costs £5 per person, half price for members of the Trust. Places need to be booked with the Tourist Information Centre, where it will start. 01614744444
