London Road, Alderley Edge's main shopping street, was previously a stretch of the A34, but has been down-graded to the B5087. The town (often referred to as a village) is very much a part of the Cheshire stockbroker belt and has a decidedly affluent feel - there are plenty of upmarket coffee shops and other eateries; even Barclay's Bank (visible in this shot) is still operational. Until 1880 Alderley Edge was known as Chorley but was re-named to avoid confusion with Chorley in Lancashire.
