Holmes Chapel - Parkway
Parkway's name is more appropriate now than when constructed, since its contemporary purpose is to provide access for car parking both public and private. The latter serves the McCarthy and Stone retirement flats prominent in this view. The flats replaced a former restaurant which had been derelict for some years.

Shops on London Road, Holmes Chapel
The centre of Holmes Chapel (or Church Hulme as it was then called) suffered a great fire in 1753 that destroyed many buildings including those on this site. They were rebuilt later in the century; the building that now houses Gascoigne Halman, Estate Agents bears the date 1798 and the initials TBH (Thomas Bayley Hall of the Hermitage, who paid for most of the rebuilding).
