Bollington from Beeston Brow
The shop in the middle of the picture, on Palmerston Street, is the Co-op. They had another store at Albert Road. Notice too, the undeveloped space beside the Co-op, not filled until a few years later. Notice the little chimney on the hillside, top right, has smoke rising from it. This was the chimney for Clough mill in Ingersley Vale.
