A photo of old Cheadle – but what’s the date?
by Lib Dem team on 22 May, 2011
I came across this photo of Cheadle village, with the White Hart on the left. Not sure on the date though. I’d guess late Victorian as there’s a horse-drawn omnibus and no tram tracks, but do you know better?

I’m assuming the wooden structure on the left must be the tollgate on the turnpike. Can’t think what else it could be. According to Mitchell’s Gatley booklet, the turnpike went out of operation in 1880/81 so, unless it was left in place for some time, the photo must predate it.
