Rookes Ironmonger & Nat West Bank

Some of the older buildings in the village. Rookes has been a family business since 1907 when Percy Rook moved here from another location in the village.

The Manchester & County Bank as it was originally was built in 1909 and was described as one of the more ornate buildings in the village.

The shop next to the bank is a newsagents but was built, again in 1909, as the new Post Office.

Thorley Lane from the Catholic Church

A view down Thorley Lane towards Stockport Road. The Roman Catholic Church is on the left, but not in shot.

Mayfield Buildings

Built in 1930 next to Mayfield Rd. The Post Office used to be in the row of shops in the next photograph.

Stockport Rd - Village Centre

A view down Stockport Road towards the junction with Thorley lane with the Village Hall on the left.

Just in view on the right is "Flowercraft Cottage" - a florist for many years and now sadly closed. It was used for filming scenes for Coronation Street when Ken's son had a romantic fling with a florist.

Charles' Court

On the right of the photograph can be seen Charles' Court built on the site of an old pub opposite the Masons Arms. On the left is the back of Rookes Ironmongers and the small building was used as a slaughterhouse for the butchers.

Stockport Rd by Vale Cottage

Vale cottages were built in the early 1800's but the remaining two were made into one in the 1970's. Opposite the cottages was Vale House which was occupied by the Knowles family in about 1900.

The cottages were the only buildings between the Hare & Hounds and the Quarry Bank in the 19th century.

Park Road

This view of Park road is taken towards its junction with Moss Lane from outside the Holy Cross Church.

Park Road used to be called Wash Lane and connected Stockport Road with "Washway" (now Manchester Road) at "Four Lane Ends" in Timperley Village - the junction of Stockport Road, Thorley Lane and Park Road.

Stockport Rd by Timperley Library

This view of Stockport Rd is looking towards Baguely with the sign for Timperley Garage just visible. The newer building on the right was the position occupied by a pub - The Railway Inn which had been built in the 1860's.

The railway line itself is just beyond the trees in the distance, as is the current Timperley boundary.

Heyes Lane

This photograph shows Heyes Lane from outside the Congregational Church looking towards Park Road.
