One of the most delightful streets in Bollington, Lord Street wends its way up the hill from Church Street to Chancery Lane.
The properties are all stone cottages with the very fine Adshead's Farm House (pictured bottom left) at the top. There are several instances of the cottages being built sideways on to the street, accessed by ginnels. In one case the ginnel leads to a yard with a further row of cottages standing parallel to the street. There is a field along part of one side of the street. Many properties have fine views over the village and the surrounding countryside.
As a consequence of this tightly packed housing, parking is a major problem on the street.
There used to be at least two beer houses in the street, the Waddling Duck near the bottom and the Rising Sun half way up the hill.
