WELCOME TO THE MARPLE WEBSITE

This is the community web site for Marple in Stockport. It was started in 1998
to provide useful information for local people and potential visitors and to
contribute to the fantastic community spirit that abounds in this small canal
town on the edge of the peaks. It continues to do this with regular updates and
lots of interaction with the local community.

Looking for something still on the old site? Please use this link.


BELOW ARE THE MOST RECENT ADDITIONS:




AN UNUSUAL ARTEFACT COMES HOME TO MARPLE

Every now and then an Internet search comes up trumps for all involved! In
October 2022 Fred Duthy in Sweden was clearing out a box of his grandmother's
stuff and found a tiny metal cylinder around 2cm diameter and 5cm long. On it
was engraved the following inscription:


FREDERICK BOOTH
FROM
MISS HUDSON
ON COMPLETION OF 50 YEARS
OF FAITHFUL SERVICE.
BRABYNS 1860 – 1910

Read more: 50 Years of Faithful Service

2023 VINTAGE CALENDAR NOW AVAILABLE!
