Title: Marple's border with Cheshire?
Post by: royal_marple on October 23, 2021, 05:54:30 PM

Where does Marple actually border Cheshire? There must be a tripoint where Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Derbyshire meet on the edge of Marple?

I think it's on the River Goyt, just north of the bridge where Strines Road crosses the river between Strines and Hague Bar.

Of course Cheshire as a LA no longer exists the Stockport/Marple boundary is now with Cheshire East.
