Description
Bramhall Through Time explores the rich history of this thriving suburb of Stockport, close to Manchester. From its Anglo-Saxon roots to the present day, the book takes a fascinating journey through the changing face of Bramhall and its surrounding areas. The story begins with the village's early days, meeting Saxons Brun and Hacun, whose lands were given by William the Conqueror to Hamon de Massey. The Edwardian shops and businesses in the village centre have since been replaced by trendy boutiques and cool bars, but old Bramhall remains characterised by grand landmarks like Bramall Hall and its beautiful park. The book also delves into neighbouring communities, juxtaposing old and new pictures to show how things have changed in Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Gatley, Hazel Grove and Manchester International Airport.
