"Roman Bridge"

This bridge over the River Goyt was named the "Roman Bridge" by the Victorians, and the name has stuck although it's actually a 17th-century packhorse bridge. The nearby "Roman Lakes" are another inaccurate but romantic Victorian coinage.

Brook Bottom

This hamlet is situated high above the Goyt Valley. A footpath to the left of the pub leads steeply down to Strines station.

River Goyt above Hague Bridge

I THINK this is the nearer of the two bends to the bridge (approx. SJ987855). Certainly in the square, whose dominant features are the valley of the Goyt and two associated railway lines.

Aptly-named cottage in a dead-end lane near Marpleridge.

Carrington Barn Farm, near Marple

This scan of an old slide shows the stone built farmhouse (late 18th/early 19th century) on the edge of the stream. The farm was in my family for over fifty years, leased to tenants. At the time of the picture it was abandoned. Since the picture was taken the farmhouse has been converted and modernised.

Twelfth Green Stile

Public footpath access across the golf course at High Lane, Disley, by stile from Jackson's Edge Lane. The seat to the left is a memorial to one Ken Jenkins (1931-1994).

Disley Crossroads

Village centre on the busy A6. This is the view looking southeast up Buxton Old Road, across the A6 which intersects it. View from the steps of the bank on the corner of Jackson's Edge Road. The Ram's Head pub stands by the entrance to the station, to the right of shot.

Strines Station

The station at Strines is little more than a halt. Passengers wishing to attain the opposite platform must leave the station and use this tunnel under the tracks to achieve their objective.

Meadow below the Mellor & Townscliffe Golf Course

Most of this square is taken up with a large private golf club, with some public footpaths running through it. However, there's a section to the east which is unused and appears, very gradually, to be returning to meadow.
