The Autumn 2011 Cheadle Civic Society newsletter has arrived and, as always, it’s well worth a read, with updates on local issues and longer articles on local history, policing in Cheadle,  the Cheadle soliders who died in the Somme in the First World War and a selection of historical photographs from the sadly-missed Heather Clarke (with more on the website).

Membership of the Civic Society is only £5 a year per househole (details here) which always seems like excellent value for the twice-yearly newsletter alone.
