Alderley Edge is a village and civil parish in Cheshire, England. In 2011, it had a population of 4,638. Alderley Edge is 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Macclesfield and 15 miles (24 km) south of Manchester, at the base of a steep and thickly wooded sandstone ridge, Alderley Edge, which is the area's chief topographical feature and overlooks the Cheshire Plain.
Alderley Edge is known for its affluence and expensive houses, falling inside Cheshire's Golden Triangle. Alderley Edge has a selection of cafes and designer shops and has attracted numerous Premier League footballers, actors and multi-millionaire businesspeople. It is one of the most expensive and sought-after places to live in the UK outside central London.
The area around Alderley Edge provides proof of occupation since the Mesolithic period with flint implements being found along the line of the sandstone outcrop. Evidence of copper mining in the Bronze Age has also been found to the south of the area. In 1995 members of the Derbyshire Caving Club found a hoard of 564 coins of the Roman Empire (now in the Manchester Museum) dating from AD 317 to AD 336. There are to date 13 recorded sites on the County Sites and Monuments Record (CSMR) in the settled area of Alderley Edge and 28 in Nether Alderley, with a further 44 along the Edge.
In the 13th century and during the Middle Ages, the area comprised estates that had many owners. Since the 15th century, most of them have belonged to the De Trafford baronets. The principal manors were based on the 14th century Chorley Old Hall, which is south-west of Alderley Edge, and the Old Hall, at Nether Alderley, a 16th-century building burnt down in 1779. The economies of Chorley and Nether Alderley were dominated by agriculture with a market charter granted at Nether Alderley in c.1253. Nether Alderley Mill dates back to 1391, although the present timber structure is 16th century. The millpond was adapted to form the moat, which surrounded the Old Hall, the home of the Stanley family. The corn mill continued to be worked until 1939 when Edward Stanley, 6th Baron Stanley of Alderley was compelled to sell it, along with the rest of the Alderley Park estate, to meet the cost of death duties. In the 1950s the National Trust bought the site and has since restored the building and opened it to the public.
The Edge is a wide red sandstone escarpment situated above the village of Alderley. An edge is a name used as a descriptive term for high land in Cheshire and adjacent counties, such as in Wenlock Edge and Blackstone Edge. The Edge at Alderley is a ridge of land separating a narrow and short valley from the higher ground of southeast Cheshire and Derbyshire.
The escarpment in Alderley Edge has long been a site of copper mining. Archaeological evidence indicates that mining took place here during Roman times and the Bronze Age, and written records show that mining continued here from the 1690s up to the 1920s.

Macclesfield Redevelopment 2012
Macclesfield Redevelopment: Macclesfield is a nice town, beautiful countryside, good housing, great location, strong business, it needs to encourage cultural development to bring visitors to the town to boost our local economy, but we need to be really careful of a County Council that might make decisions for financial reasons and not for the benefit of our town. If you are Macclesfield inhabitant - get involved and make your feelings known.

Over the border to one of my favourite places, Lyme Park.
Shame that the propellers got in a few of the shots but there was a bit of a head wind.
Decided to edit using iMovie rather than Premiere this time and it was much faster and easier.

This is Wilmslow
This is Wilmslow. Our Village is beautiful, when you take some time to stop and look. Surrounded by greenery, rivers and fields. Take a trip with us as we fly over Wilmslow, Cheshire. SK9.
Situated in the north of England, 11 miles (18 km) from Manchester city centre and 7 miles (11 km) from Macclesfield, Wilmslow village centre is focused upon Bank Square, Grove Street and Water Lane. Although Bank Square has traditionally provided the location for many of the village's banks, the name in fact originates from the bank, or slope, leading down to The Carrs recreational fields and up towards the railway station. The River Bollin flows through The Carrs and once provided the power source for nearby Quarry Bank Mill, now a National Trust site, and enjoyment for the local population.
Before the railway came in 1842, Wilmslow comprised only a few farms and a church.

A54 - M6 J18 to Holmes Chapel - Front View with Rearview Mirror
The A54 runs from the A51 at Tarvin to the east of Chester, to the A53 near Buxton, a distance of 42.0 miles (67.6km). It runs through the towns of Winsford, Middlewich, Holmes Chapel and Congleton. It is a primary route west of Congleton, and non-primary east of Congleton, where it enters the Peak District National Park. The Peak District section is twisty and undulating - and it usually features prominently on the list of most dangerous roads in the UK.
The A54 through Holmes Chapel used to follow the Middlewich Road route to the A50 at St. Luke's Church, with the B5308 following Chester Road. These two routes were swapped over to ensure that the main route for motorway-bound traffic avoided the narrowing of the A50 near the church.
This video shows an eastbound journey along the A54 Middlewich Road in Holmes Chapel, from the M6 at junction 18 to the B5308 junction. It is available in three versions;

A523 - The Silk Road, Macclesfield (Part 2) - Front View with Rearview Mirror
The A523 is a former trunk road running from the A6 at Hazel Grove, south east of Stockport, to the A52 west of Ashbourne in Derbyshire, via the towns of Poynton, Macclesfield and Leek.
In the mid-1990s, a relief road was built through the centre of Macclesfield and bypassing Tytherington, called The Silk Road, so named because of Macclesfield's industrial past with many silk mills. Part of The Silk Road is built on the route of the former Macclesfield to Marple railway, a victim of the Beeching cuts. The relief road is a mixture of 2 and 4-lane single-carriagway, with a dual-carriageway section.
There are currently plans to bypass Poynton with a single carriageway running from the small village of Adlington north-west to meet an extension of the A555 road, which is aimed to start construction soon. The current A523 runs through Poynton village, which features an unusual shared-space junction in the town centre.
This video shows a northbound journey along a short section of The Silk Road (A523) in Macclesfield town centre, between the A537 turn off towards Buxton, and the A537 turn off towards Knutsford and Chester, running past the famous Arighi Bianchi furniture store. It is available in three versions;

A51 - Tarvin to Chester (Part 1) - Rear View
The A51 runs from Kingsbury in Warwickshire to Chester in Cheshire, via the city of Lichfield and the towns of Tamworth, Rugeley, Stone and Nantwich. In the original route numbering, the A51 went further, extending to Birkenhead on the Wirral, but this was cut back to Chester in the 1930s when the A41 was extended along that route.
The route is mostly single carriageway, mainly running along the original route, except that there have been a number of recent bypasses constructed, for instance those at Rugeley and Nantwich.
This video shows a westbound journey along the A51 in Cheshire between the roundabout with the A54 at Tarvin, to the roundabout with the A55 Chester bypass, much of which runs on the route of the former Roman road between Chester and Manchester. It is available in three versions;

Welcome to The Alderley Edge Hotel
My drive to work from Kidsgrove to Congleton
This is my morning drive to work from my girlfriend's parents' house over the hills and country lanes, down through narrow streets... if it looks like there are several times where oncoming cars are inches away, that's because they are! Some parts there is barely room for two cars to pass each other, and other parts it's impossible, haha.
Anyway, it's a nice drive to work, and about a billion times more enjoyable and interesting than driving down the motorway or around the inner city of Manchester.
