Understand edit

A large village west of Macclesfield, home to numerous wealthy residents including footballers and at one time to footballer David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, a former pop singer. The village sits at the bottom of an escarpment (“The Edge”) which was first mined for copper in the Bronze Age, some 5000 years ago, with occupation going back twice as far.

1 Nether Alderley Mill, Congleton Rd, Nether Alderley SK10 4TW. Closed in 2021. There was a mill here in 1290, replaced by the present building in the 16th century and the machinery is Victorian. It's an attractive pink sandstone building, with a ski-slope of a slate roof, backing onto its reservoir. The water powers three overshot wheels to grind corn and two are still working.
