Bramhall is a thriving, bustling and leafy suburb of Stockport,
close to Manchester. It has been voted the least 'lonely place' in
Britain; according to research from the University of Sheffield,
Bramhall came bottom of the loneliness index nationwide. It has a
rich history stretching back to the Anglo-Saxon period. This book
takes us back to Bramhall's early days to meet Saxons Brun and
Hacun, whose lands were given by Willliam the Conqueror to Hamon de
Massey, who eventually became 1st Baron of Dunham Massey. The
Edwardian shops and businesses in the village centre have been
replaced by trendy boutiques and cool bars, but old Bramhall is
still characterised by the grand Bramall Hall, with its beautiful
park, as well as the town's many farms and old pubs. The book also
takes in neighbouring Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme, Gatley, Hazel
Grove and Manchester International Airport in Ringway, where old
and new pictures are juxtaposed to show how things have changed in
these communities.
