[
This part of town is dual centred, on
Wellington Road at its junction with Garden Street and Hawthorn Road (left), and a
couple of hundred metres away around the Waggon & Horses on
the junction of Wellington Road, Henshall Road, and Grimshaw Lane. The oldest building here
is Bollington Hall Farm, half way between the two centres. While stone is used in many buildings,
brick is also commonplace with some buildings using it for back and sides and the more
modern houses being all in brick. However, the mills were built in stone. The only one
remaining here is Adelphi Mill. Waterhouse Mill was demolished in the 1960s and replaced
with the modern Kay Metzeler factory.
Other notable locations include St. Gregory's
Church; the Methodist Church; the Town Hall; the Arts Centre; the Civic Hall with the Library beneath; the course of the old
railway, now known as the Middlewood Way; the recreation ground; the small community at
the end of Adlington Road.
Going up the hill on Henshall Road towards the junction with South West Avenue marks
the boundary with Bollington Cross.
