White Nancy, Bollington
Erected in 1817 by the Gaskell family, to commemorate the victory at Waterloo. Nancy may have been the name of a Gaskell daughter, or the name of a horse that hauled materials to the summit. White is obvious today, but it wasn't painted until after 1925.

Bollington over the water looking NE
Peering between the moored narrow boats there is the spire of the church (deconsecrated and a dwelling) and the hillside of the valley of the Harrop Brook which joins the River Dean to flow through Bollington.

The Queens Arms, Bollington
A Robinsons pub at the junction of High Street (foreground) and Park Street. Although you would not know it from the surface, the map shows that it is built over the culverted River Dean - which flows pretty much from back to front of this photo.

Clarence Mill Chimney, Bollington, Cheshire
The first mill by Clarence Road dated from between 1834 and 1838. It was extended along the canal to the north-west in 1841, and again to its final length in 1857. In 1877 the original mill was demolished and rebuilt, higher and more than double the width, and forming two current two section configuration. (Source https://happyvalley.org.uk/?page_id=3946 )
It was built, like the other mills in Bollington, to spin cotton. The raw cotton was brought from Liverpool docks up the River Irwell to Manchester then along the Rochdale, Ashton, Peak Forest and Macclesfield canals. Cotton spinning ceased in 1970. It is now converted for use by many small businesses and enterprises.
At the mill's busiest there were three chimneys, the only remaining one dating from 1914. It became in a dangerous condition by 1977, and as the cost of demolition was too high, the top few feet was broken up and the bricks tipped down the flue! Does anyone fancy a "challenging" restoration job? ;-)
