New Road, Butley, Cheshire
|
New Road, Butley is the
part of the main road into Prestbury village from the north. The casual
visitor can be forgiven for thinking that they are actually in Prestbury
now that the small Hamlet of Butley is swallowed up by its larger neighbour.
In fact to the north of this road, out of site on the photograph is Prestbury
railway station, while the village of Prestbury is to the south. The two photographs below
indicate the extent of the Hamlet of Butley, which is little more than
a row of old weavers cottages with the token of village life, an Inn,
sandwiched between them. The only unnoticable division between Butley and Prestbury is the local river bridge, from which these photographs were taken. Further information on this area is available at www.prestburycheshire.com |

This view of the weavers cottages shows quite clearly the upper workrooms, so designed to gain the maximum natural light. |
