This is the oldest picture in our collection. It was taken before the railway was built across the foreground in 1868/9. Notice the corner of the Methodist manse on the right edge of the picture. The grass in the foreground is now part of the lawn in front of St Gregory’s church. See ‘Bollington in old picture postcards’ number 4 for full details.
