A short street off Water street, John Street is where Bollington's iron founders were situated, where Dean Court is today. There are fine stone cottages on one side and Water Street school on the other. Dean Court wardened housing units are at the end of John Street.
Approach off Water Street.
Nearest shops - Palmerston Street.
Nearest pubs - Queen's Arms, Holly Bush, Spinners Arms.
The observant will notice, while walking around town, the number of cast iron components that still display 'THE FOUNDRY BOLLINGTON' (picture above) or similar. The most common pieces are the rainwater pipes that cross the pavements from the down pipe to the street gutter. Some gully tops also have 'BOLLINGTON' cast into them. These were all cast in the foundry at John Street.
