Location
Windmill Lane is an idyllic setting running along the west side of Kerridge Hill and is formerly known as the ‘top road’ by old Bollingtonians. Historically the lane was used for quarrying and coal mining and two major items of interest along the lane are Clayton’s Tower and Victoria Bridge. Local landmarks include the Grade II listed White Nancy which is a very popular walking destination built by the Gaskell family, the aqueduct embankment and Bollington viaduct which is now a feature of the Middlewood way the 10 mile/16 km linear walk that occupies the former railway.
