Whaley Bridge is truly a town steeped in history and rich in connections. It's fascinating to learn about its origins and how it developed over the years. The significance of the Peak Forest Canal and the Cromford and High Peak Railway in shaping Whaley Bridge's identity as a coal mining and transportation hub is remarkable. The direct rail link to Stockport further enhanced its accessibility and connectivity to the surrounding areas. Today, Whaley Bridge continues to thrive, bridging the gap between its historical roots and modern transportation with the Manchester-Buxton Line. Thank you for sharing these intriguing insights into the town's past and present.
This is the town who's reservoir nearly burst a several years ago in 2019. The army used chinook helicopters to shaw it up while it was quickly emptied. It has not yet been repaired which has caused problems for the Peak Forrest Canal that it feeds. Edwina Curry (retired MP) lives here
