What Used To Be.
A Memory of Lydgate.
The place where the Lydgate tunnel is a left over mound of ground found in the back field.
There used to be 2 pubs and a black smithy that fell in and was rebuilt.
They used to live and work in the weaver s cottages.
The church is still there.
Stockport road is named because they carried stock through Lydgate to be sold in Manchester. There was an old launderette which could have been a mill. Farms still flourishing.
