Meadowbank Avenue, Wheelock
Infill development at its most blatant. At the time of the photograph this development was so new (built c.2011) that online maps either did not show it at all, or still showed the pair of houses on Wheelock Road that had been demolished to make way for the access road into the field behind where several houses were built.

Zan Drive
The unusual name of this private road is a reference to the former Zan Mill - a fustian mill, whose name is perpetuated by the industrial park now on the site. History at http://www.squidoo.com/Wheelock#module10540359

Old road sign in Wheelock
The main road in the picture is no longer the A534, a number now given to the Wheelock Bypass at this point, but unclassified. B5079 to Middlewich is still correct. The sign is outside the congregational church

Remains of Wheelock station
The station platform has been rescued from vegetation. Wikipedia's helpful "List of closed railway stations in Britain" gives the date of closure as 1930 and the original station name as "Wheelock and Sandbach" although it was not very near the latter.
