    Features include the River Mersey, which meanders across the map; stretches of the Cheshire Lines Railway and LNWR, both with Cheadle stations; and a stretch of the LNWR Wilmslow-Levenshulme line; Cheadle Hall, tramways, St Chad's RC church, Abney Hall, Heaton Mersey Bleach Works, Cheadle Bleach Works, Barnes Convalescent Hospital, Broad Oak Farm etc.

    We include a selection of contemporary street directory entries on both maps, together with specially written introductions.
