Pub sign for the Stamford Arms in Bowdon.

The Stamford Arms on The Firs in Bowdon is currently closed. A new development of the public house is proposed, but has been delayed due to planning issues. See [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5328947] to see the pub sign.

Green Walk, which leads towards the A56 but stops before it gets there. This restricts traffic to access only.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin, in the village of Bowdon is designated as a Grade II* listed building by English Heritage. There has been a church on the site since at least as early as the time of the Domesday Book. It is likely that a new church was built in the 14th century and remodelled in the 16th century. The church was completely rebuilt between 1858 and 1860, although the 16th-century roofs of the aisles were retained and incorporated into the new structure. http://www.bowdonchurch.org/ Church website http://www.panosphere.co.uk/360_virtual_tours/Church_Virtual_Tour/index.html - 360 degree virtual tour of the church interior.

The Devisdale is an area of public open space in Altrincham. Altrincham Grammar School for Girls is located nearby and unfortunately my first attempt to take geographs was thwarted by my visit coinciding with the two hours in the year that the schools sponsored walk was taking place. After being interrogated by very suspicious police officers, I decided to come back later.
