Radiators? That was posh Cathy. At Hope Memorial they put the milk in the hearth in front of the big open coke fire.
That last ginnel is a lot tidier than it used to be.....

The last ginnel was repaved with setts in one of the heritage regeneration schemes carried out in recent years, the Stream and Steam Heritage Trail; this is a clue to its location.

It's down the side of the Cornmill.

Ian knows his ginnels, and he'll certainly know where this one is.

The entrance to the ginnel is hidden in the far right corner.

Hee hee, so do I but I'll let others have a go....

Is it related to the place of worship that formerly stood nearby? Nolic

Yes. Very crypt(ic)!

It looks very different to when I was a lad and was minded by a lady who lived in the house where the guy in red is stood. Nolic

What was the place of worship associated with the ginnel on the Croft? Or have I got it wrong.....

Post by **Nolic** » 10 May 2014, 06:47

St James Square........St James Church. Nolic

Post by **David Whipp** » 10 May 2014, 07:21

Another with a religious association (after a clean up).

Post by **Stanley** » 10 May 2014, 07:47

Of course Comrade! Must have had a blank spot!
I'm not going to leap in on the last one....

Which name do you want? Choice of two, tame or mucky.

Post by **David Whipp** » 10 May 2014, 10:03

Shall we see who else knows both or either?

Post by **Nolic** » 10 May 2014, 10:13

Always knew mucky. Only found out true name on One Guy. Nolic

Post by **PanBiker** » 10 May 2014, 10:20

No problem David, one things for sure it's known the clatter of thousands of clogs in it's time.

Here's more or less the same view from 2010, before the setts were regrouted.

Old Trawdeners (hubby included) call the ginnels which go under houses/buildings (like a tunnel) "ollerfares".

Post by **Stanley** » 11 May 2014, 04:27

They were entries in Stockport as well Moh.
Shitten Ginnel or Pickles Hippings, take your pick. Actually the second name was only for the hipping (stepping) stones over the beck before the bridge was made.

Post by **David Whipp** » 11 May 2014, 07:35

This one's already had a mention in this thread.

Post by **Stanley** » 12 May 2014, 04:25

Funny thing is I know it but can't remember where it is!

Post by **Stanley** » 12 May 2014, 06:10

Add this one to the collection?

Post by **David Whipp** » 12 May 2014, 07:12

Your picture shows much less bushy hedges than now, Stanley.

Two locations for people to work out now...

How much does a clog remove from a step with each pass ?
