Gnathole

 


'Old' Bollington | West Bollington | Bollington Cross | Lowerhouse | Gnathole | Kerridge

[Tucked into a corner known as Gnathole, a dozen houses at the end of Adlington Road huddle against the boundary with Adlington. Lodge Brow rises above them on one side, the trees of Gnathole wood rise on another. They look out across the recreation ground with a backdrop of Kerridge Hill and White Nancy. A truly delightful spot - in spite of the name!

Almost unseen a small stream runs in a stone built duct beneath the houses and all the way across the children's' playground, under the railway viaduct and only re-appears where it drains into the river Dean. Not a lot of people know that!

The recreation ground is home to Bollington Cricket Club. A very long time ago this was Cheshire's county ground! ]
