Bollington Town Hall flying the town flag - White Nancy on a green background - on Wellington Road. Plans are being drawn up (7/2006) to move the town administration to a more suitable premises so this may not be the Town Hall for much longer.

Bollington Hall farmhouse is one of the oldest buildings in the district. Right behind it used to stand the corn mill whose wheel was fed by a leat that brought water all the way from near Bridge End in Palmerston Street. The mill was demolished very many years ago and Riverbank Close was built across the site in more recent times.
