Marple and Mellor - Then & Now

An excellent new book is now available featuring old postcards and photographs of the area alongside present day pictures taken, wherever possible, from the same locations. You'll be amazed by how much, and in some cases how little, these local scenes have changed over the passing years.

Compiled by Marple Local History Society Chairman Ann Hearle and our very own Peter Clarke, constructor of the Virtual Tour, the book is available from all good local bookshops or, for our more distant visitors, on-line. In addition, those of you who live locally can buy a copy and also help to restore the Iron Bridge in Brabyns Park at the same time! See below for more details.

Price £11.99
