Well Dressings

in 2018, there were seven:

• 1. Canal Basin Well Dressings 3 Well Dressings at the junction of Bingswood Avenue and Tom Brad’s Croft; one on Bingswood Avenue itself and two at the old trough near the Car Park (take Canal Street leading off Buxton Road in the town centre - signposted Bingswood Industrial Estate - then follow the signs for the Car Park)
• 2. Uniting Church Well Dressing outside the Uniting Church on Buxton Road, just north of the railway bridge
• 3. Primary School Well Dressing outside Whaley Bridge Primary School on Buxton Road, just south of the railway bridge
• 4. Holy Trinity Church Well Dressing outside Holy Trinity Church on Buxton Road, about 200m south of the Primary School
• 5. Taxal & Fernilee School Well Dressing on Park Road Green (on Macclesfield Road, at its junction with Reddish Road, about 250m from the Buxton Road traffic lights)

In 2019, it is expected that the Canal Basin dressings will be at a different site in the town.
