I think Timmy Mallet of Wacaday fame once resided in the posh leafy streets off Winnington Road, and I've seen that fellow who plays Les in Coronation Street around and about, but are there any others...

Also, I think Malcolm Alison, ontime manager of Man City lived here, I remember a crowd of kids gathering outside his house and taunting him when City were beaten by Halifax Town in the FA cup.

Hi Marple, what a great site I found.
I am from Burnage which is not to far away from Marple but now live in Australia I have been here for 30 years now but still go home every 3 years or so.
My father lived in Stiles Ave Marple, for about 25 years till his death in June 1997 we go back and see my stepmother who is still there. I am not sure but you mite have heard of him is name was John Thaw Snr and was the father of John Thaw (aka) Inspector Morse and I am John Thaw's brother.
I have very fond memories of Marple, the walk's the pubs the shops and of course the people.

Judge Bradshaw (the hanging judge) who signed the death decree for King Charles the first :o Now you can not get much more famous than that :-XAnd his more recent relation, Christopher Isherwood (Writer - "Goodbye to Berlin", "Mr Norris Changes Trains", etc.,) was born at Wybersley (or Wyberslegh, if you prefer) Hall at High Lane. Ok, so not quite Marple but then neither is Mellor.
If you don't know his writing, you must have seen "Cabaret", with Liza Minelli and Joel Grey, which is based on his material.

No matter how you dress it up Judge Bradshaw was not known as the hanging judge. RayHe was dug up and hanged along with Cromwell etc . Locals call him that because he was hanged not because he hung people !! Sorry I did not explain myself :-\

I was born in Marple 72 years ago and never moved away so I class myself as a local. In the last few days I have asked many people older than me all locals and they have never known him to be called the hanging judge Ray.There is some historical confusion here. The so-called "Hanging Judge" was Judge Jeffries, appointed by James II to preside over the "Bloody Assizes" dealing with the rebels and their supporters after the 1685 Monmouth rebellion.

Hi Ray I can only tell you what we were told at school. I have been racking my brains to remember the poem we were expected to recite at school It was something about Judge Bradshaw with his decaying body hanging high with Oliver Cromwell and another chap who I have forgotten the name of. I will ask my school friends if they remember and post it for all to read :-\Judge Bradshaw was indeed exhumed, displayed on the gallows at Tyburn for a day then beheaded in 1661 after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, although there is some doubt that it really was Bradshaw's body.
"Another chap who I have forgotten the name of" was Henry Ireton, Cromwell's son-in-law.

Yes that's the chap !! Its all coming back to me now! I also remember the poem also made reference to Charles 1 putting on extra clothing because it was an extremely cold day and he did not want his subjects to mistake his shivering for fear. :o What a brave man ! My subjects may of thought it was raining :oHi Ray I can only tell you what we were told at school.
