Marple is a small town within the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, in Greater Manchester, England. It lies on the River Goyt 9 miles southeast of Manchester, 9 miles north of Macclesfield and 4 miles southeast of Stockport.
Historically in Cheshire, the town lies along the Peak Forest Canal, containing the Marple Lock Flight and Marple Aqueduct. The Roman Lakes to the southeast of the town centre attracts anglers and walkers. Marple is served by two railway stations, Marple and Rose Hill, providing access to the rail network in Greater Manchester and beyond. It is also close by the Middlewood Way, a cycle path following the former Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway line south from Rose Hill to Macclesfield.
In the early 1900s the town prospered from the success of cotton in nearby Stockport and Manchester; the canals in the area served as a link with other industrial towns. In 1936, Marple Urban District, at the time part of Cheshire, annexed from Derbyshire the parish of Ludworth and Mellor. Marple grew as a residential suburb of Stockport after the arrival of frequent bus and rail services in the 1920s.
The area, close to Derbyshire, covers just over 11 square miles (28 km2) of countryside, ranging from heavily wooded valleys to hill-top moorland. It rises from around 262 feet (80 m) above sea level at the River Goyt to 1,073 feet (327 m) at Cobden Edge. On a clear day it is possible to view the Beetham Tower in Manchester as well as the city centre, the Winter Hill TV transmitter and the surrounding counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire and West Yorkshire and the mountains of North Wales from the top of these hills.
Since 1932 Marple has had a cinema in a building designed in 1878 as a place of worship or refuge. The building was purchased in 1932 by the Marple Cinema Company and became the Regent Cinema. It remains open as one of the few independent cinemas in the UK. The town has two brass bands, the Marple Band and the Hawk Green (Marple) Band.
Marple is notable for its series of 16 canal locks, known as Marple Lock Flight, close to the village centre. The Peak Forest Canal skirts the village, north running alongside Marple Memorial Park and Brabyns Park until it reaches the Marple Aqueduct and on to Dukinfield Junction, and south towards Bugsworth Basin. Macclesfield Canal meets the Peak Forest Canal at Marple Junction, and heads towards Birmingham. The two canals form part of the Cheshire Ring canal system; the canals served as a vital link during the Industrial Revolution. Nowadays they provide an area of relaxation for walkers, anglers and boaters.
The Roman Lakes leisure complex is popular with walkers, anglers, nature lovers and horse riders. It is located in the valley bottom close to Strines. The area was named in the Victorian era as an attraction to tourists not because it had links with the Romans (also true of Roman Bridge, a packhorse bridge over the Goyt). In the area closest to the river there was a mill built by Samuel Oldknow; it is now ruined and overgrown.
Marple Hall is located close to where Marple Hall School now stands. The remains of the hall can be explored, though very little remains. The hall was the ancestral home of the Bradshaws and passed to the Isherwoods. The town lies along the A626, which runs between Glossop and Heaton Chapel. It has a junction in the centre of Marple with the B6101, which heads south to New Mills.

Places to see in ( Hyde - UK )
Hyde is a town in Greater Manchester, England. Historically in Cheshire, it is 5 miles northeast of Stockport, 6 miles west of Glossop and 7 miles east of Manchester. The population of Hyde increased due to the success of the cotton mills during the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, at one stage there were 40 working mills. By 1872 only 27 remained, half of the remaining mills closed between 1921 and 1939 and there is only one working mill in the town today. There were many mill owning families, including the Sidebotham, Hibbert and Horsfield families.
St George's Church was built in 1832 as a chapel of ease to St Mary's, Stockport. It was built at the instigation of John Hyde Clarke of Hyde Hall and was the first Church of England place of worship in the town. St George's became the parish church of part of Hyde township in 1842. Later additions include the lychgate, boathouse by the canal, hearse house, parish rooms and numerous vicarages. The church has a 110-foot (34 m) tower housing eight bells and a clock.
The Peak Forest Canal was constructed through Hyde from Ashton-under-Lyne to Woodley, Romiley and Marple. Captain Clarke's Bridge, originally named Wood End Canal Bridge is situated at the end of Woodend Lane. The bridge was erected before Captain Clarke rose to prominence and therefore probably became known as Captain Clarke's Bridge after he retired and resided there.
Hyde was incorporated as a municipal borough of Cheshire in 1881, which covered the parishes of Hyde, Godley and Newton, along with part of Compstall. Hyde Town Hall dominates the market place area. The large bell in the clocktower is known as Owd Joss (Old Josh), named after Joshua Bradley, a former poor child worker in the mills. The clock chimes the Westminster Quarters.
Werneth Low Country Park is the location of the Hyde War Memorial. The memorial is owned by a trust which raised funds from Hyde residents after the Great War to create a permanent memorial to those Hyde residents who died in that conflict. The memorial contains 710 names. Hyde is separated from Denton by the River Tame, a tributary of the River Mersey. There are several areas and suburbs in Hyde, these include, Gee Cross, Newton, Hattersley, Godley, Flowery Field, Kingston, Mottram in Longdendale, Hollingworth and Broadbottom.
Hyde is served by six railway stations, Hyde Central and Hyde North stations are on the Manchester Piccadilly - Romiley - Rose Hill 'Hyde Loop' line. Flowery Field, Newton (for Hyde), Godley and Hattersley stations are on the electrified Piccadilly - Glossop - Hadfield line. Hyde is served by the M67 motorway, a feeder to the M60, the orbital motorway for Manchester, which is connected to many other motorways that serve across the country. Hyde also has Hyde bus station, with services into Manchester and other surrounding areas, including Stockport, Ashton-under-Lyne and Oldham.

Walking the Peak Forest Canal at Marple
On a sunny afternoon in April, four friends walk along the Peak Forest canal from Marple in the direction of Romiley. They cross the Marple Aqueduct and reach the Hyde Bank Farm Tearoom before turning back.
An Educational Walk : Marple Aqueduct & 16 Locks Canal 6.5 Miles
30th June 2016. Marple Lock Flight is a flight of sixteen canal locks situated on the Peak Forest Canal in Marple, near Stockport. Marple Aqueduct, also known as 'the Grand Aqueduct', carries the lower level of the Peak Forest Canal across the River Goyt at Marple. Completed in 1800, this fine stone aqueduct carries the Peak Forest Canal over the River Goyt. It is a scheduled Ancient Monument, a Transport Heritage site.
We had 6.5 miles walk along the canal and lunch under the aqueduct. I stood on the bridge with river Goyt running underneath, canal on the bridge and train running through the aqueduct. It was quite amazing to see the technics and design functioning.
Special thanks to Mike who led us this wonderful walk.
Trains at Manchester Piccadilly, WCML | 08/08/17
A wet and windy day down in Manchester Piccadilly on the West Coast Mainline during the early Rush Hour on a Tuesday. We arrived from London Euston on a Virgin Trains pendolino in first class.
Manchester Piccadilly info:
Manchester Piccadilly is the principal railway station in Manchester, England. Opened as Store Street in 1842, it was renamed Manchester London Road in 1847 and Manchester Piccadilly in 1960. Located to the south-eastern side of Manchester city centre, it hosts intercity and cross-country services to national destinations including London Euston, Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, South Wales and Scotland, and local and regional services to destinations in Northern England including Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle and York. It is one of 19 major stations managed by Network Rail.
The station has twelve terminal platforms in the train shed and two through platforms to the south of it. Piccadilly is also a major interchange with the Metrolink light rail system with two tram platforms in its undercroft.
Piccadilly is the busiest station in the Manchester station group with more than 25 million passenger entries and exits between April 2015 and March 2016, (the other major stations in Manchester are Oxford Road and Victoria). It is the fourth busiest station in the United Kingdom outside London. The station hosts services from six train operating companies. It is the second busiest interchange station outside London, with almost 3.8 million passengers changing trains there annually.
Refurbishment took five years and cost £100m in 2002, it was the most expensive improvement on the UK rail network at the time. According to an independent poll carried out in 2007, Manchester Piccadilly had the highest customer satisfaction level of any UK station, with 92% of passengers satisfied compared with the national average of 60%.
A TWAO application to build two extra platforms was made in October 2016 and construction is expected to commence after the completion of the Ordsall Chord in January 2018. High Speed 2 proposals would require five more platforms and reconfiguration of the Metrolink station.
History:
In June 1840 the Manchester and Birmingham Railway (M&BR) opened a temporary terminus on its line to Stockport on Travis Street. Its permanent station, Store Street, adjacent to London Road opened on 8 May 1842. It had two platforms, offices and passenger amenities and by then the line extended to Crewe. A large site, 1,700 ft (518 m) long by 500 ft (152 m) wide containing terraced houses and industrial premises had been cleared to make way for the station, which was built on top of a viaduct, 30 ft (9 m) above ground level.
The station was shared from the beginning with the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway (SA&MR) after an agreement in 1837 by the promoters. The M&BR amalgamated with other railways to create the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in 1846, and the SA&MR changed its name to the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) three years later.
Manchester London Road:
The station's name was changed to London Road in 1847. In 1849 the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJA&R) began using the station when it opened its line from Manchester Oxford Road station. Its single platform, opened on 1 August 1849 to the south of, and adjacent to, the main part of the station was the predecessor of the through platforms 13 and 14. The MSJA&R's line connected to the main line just south of the station, forming a through route to the LNWR's line to Liverpool.
London Road was overcrowded by the 1850s and the relationship between the LNWR and MS&LR was poor. In 1862 the companies agreed to rebuild and expand the station so it could be divided, with the MS&LR occupying the north-eastern side and the LNWR occupying the south-western side. The rebuilt station had a new entrance and concourse and a 656 ft (200 m) long iron and glass trainshed consisting of two 95 ft (29 m) wide arched spans covering the terminal platforms, one for each company's platforms. While under construction on 20 January 1866, part of the roof collapsed killing two workmen and injuring 30 more. An enquiry found the collapse was due to strong winds and heavy snowfall. Both companies built warehouses to the northern side of the station and the viaduct south of the station to Ardwick was widened to four tracks.
Within ten years, the station was again overcrowded as traffic continued to increase and further expansion was required. Between 1880 and 1883 the LNWR widened its side of the station and added more platforms which were covered by two extra 69 ft (21 m) wide arched spans to the trainshed. At the same time the MSJ&AR platform was taken out and rebuilt as an island platform on a girder bridge over Fairfield Street. It was linked to the main station by a footbridge. The improvements were opened in May 1882
Marple Aqueduct
First flight over water and at significant height (for me) - Parrot Bebop 2 video of the Marple Aqueduct carrying the Peak Forest Canal ninety feet over the River Goyt with views reaching over to the adjacent Railway Viaduct carrying the line from Romiley to Marple and Rose Hill.
Came close to learning a harsh lesson on the far side of aqueduct where unseen tall trees threatened to wipe out my Parrot Bebop 2 - got away with it.. this time :-(
Will go back and do the fly through the arches another time
