Marple
nr Stockport
Only the Bull’s Head pub, seen in the distance, remains today. The Marple branch of the Compstall Industrial Co-operative Society took over the premises on the left hand side of the street in 1874. Beyond the shops can be seen the roof of the Trinity Primitive Methodist Chapel, demolished in April 1964. The small shop on the right was replaced by a building used by Marple U.D.C. until after WWI when the Council offices moved to Hollins House in the War Memorial Park. The old cottages called Linn Row, between the chapel and the pub, were demolished before 1964.
