Cheadle Civic Society -preserving Cheadle's future

The passing away of Heather Clarke in February, 2011 was not only a great loss to many local people, but the village also lost one of its most respected local historians.

Heather had devoted much of her life to chronicling the history of Cheadle and had accumulated a huge amount of old photographs, school albums, registers, books and plenty of other paperwork relating to Cheadle in the past.

Her family has now brought this excellent collection of material together and donated it to the Cheadle Civic Society so it can be enjoyed by future generations of local residents.

Below are some of the many evocative images she collected and more will be added to the web site in due course.
