Giant's Table

As a child I loved walking the River Goyt. On the way there was a huge sort of building we called the 'giant's table', I never knew the history of it. I lived at Tangshutt Cottages. It was situated on Compstall Road, at the entrance to Jibbys wood. I wonder if any photos of it are around, and if anyone knows the history to both.

RE: RE: Giant's Table

Re your mention of Jibbys Wood - I grew up in Romiley and always called it Jims Wood.

RE: RE: Giant's Table

Yes so did I, but I was told recently that it was called Jibbys Wood. So I can now revert back to Jimmys Wood.
