One famous Bollingtonian Terry Waite was born at No.60 Wellington Road, opposite the Waterhouse. Waite was the Assistant for Anglican Communion Affairs for the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, in the 1980s. As an envoy for the Church of England, he travelled to Lebanon to try to secure the release of four hostages, including the journalist John McCarthy. He was himself kidnapped and held captive from 1987 to 1991. After his release he wrote Taken on Trust (1994), a memoir about his experiences, and became involved in humanitarian causes and charitable work.

In the 1950s a place had been desperately needed for Bollington's disabled children and the mill's gatehouse subsequently housed the Bollington Spastic Clinic. It was a daunting task but one that Bollington took to its heart. Within weeks, Mr. lan Oliver of the Mill offered us the brand-new nursery that had been built for his employers' children, as they preferred to stay in the building already in use. Slowly the children thrived and everyone, even though some were terribly disabled, blossomed in the love and care they received.' The Waterhouse Mill was demolished in 1962 but The Waterhouse, home of the Oliver family and now the Bollington Medical Centre.

A steep climb or decent but worth it

The packhorse bridge crosses Harrop Brook.

A small, bustling town on the edge of the Peak District, with numerous independent cafés, shops and pubs. During the Industrial Revolution, Bollington was a centre for cotton mills, quarries and coal mines. Many of the historic mills are still standing, now mostly converted to apartments.
