Members will recall the fascinating talk earlier this year by Gillian Mawson on the subject of The Guernsey Evacuees. Gillian now has a web site on this subject which includes a fascinating diary which is updated daily on the life in 1940 of an evacuee in Stockport.

264 Buxton Road
Alongside 264 Buxton Road, there was once a narrow lean-to shop. Before WWII this had been the haberdashers shop of the Birchenall sisters. Also sold were items of clothing such as scarves, gloves and hats. The premises later became the hairdressing salon of Jean Lomas. In 1978 it re-opened under the name of "Cutter's Cabin" having been vacant for some time.
