Memories of Cheshire
Born And Bred in Langley From 1943 to 1967
Norn at no 36 Main Road, mother Marion Simpson married to Frank Williams, schooled at Langley Primary School, Beech Hall Prep School and Macclesfield Grammar, worked at the blood transfusion service in Manchester before joining an American medical company selling modern tech, including kidney and heart lung machines. Had own businesses and recently retired, living in Colton, Staffordshire. I had the most exciting childhood in Langley, from wildlife to sport, especially the early days of cricket. All my mother's side of the family, Heapys, had been in the area for 150 years, particularly around Flash. I had many friends in the village and later was friends with John Richards at Gawsworth when at Beech Hall, and still retain some friends within the county.
John Adshead - Exercising The Dogs
It was a common site to see John Adshead cycling to work from Gawsworth New Hall to the Lonsdale & Adshead brewery on Park Green Macclesfield. There was a driver and car available at the house, but it was usually the bike that got John to work. The dogs ! No they were not running alongside the cycle, they were tucked into John's coat. The brewery was sold in 1950, about 10 years before this picture was taken.

Corner Cafe
My dad used to take my sister, my brother and me here. He would buy us each a packet of crisps (the kind with the salt in the twist of blue wax paper). A beautiful Alsatian dog called Major lived here and we would all stop to visit him. Happy memories! I don't think the building is still standing now but it was wonderful to come across this photo of it. Many thanks!
