One Saturday afternoon in October, the members of the society joined a three stage ‘Tour de Chadkirk’ encompassing 1500 years of history. To paraphrase Dickens, ‘It was the oldest of times, and the newest of times’ that afternoon. Judith had organised a walking tour of the Chadkirk area, taking in the old and new; Chadkirk Chapel, Stockport Hydro and, for those with limitless energy, an opportunity to visit the new Sustrans footbridge over the Goyt. Not just for human feet but for cycles and horses as well.
