Warford Hall

Great Warford () is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. A predominantly farming settlement, Great Warford has existed for approximately a thousand years. Today, in addition to agriculture, it's noted for its roles in private healthcare and property development. The population stands at 1710 inhabitants. The village lacks a distinct municipal centre in terms of population density and significance. Warford Park development houses around 300 residents and boasts amenities like an on-site health/leisure club, tennis courts, the Warford Park Bowling Club, and expansive gardens, lakes, and parkland. Although Great Warford lacks direct national transport links, being without a railway or bus station, it's strategically positioned in "The Golden Triangle" formed by Alderley Edge, Knutsford, and Wilmslow. As such, it benefits from nearby schools, shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The proximity to the North West's expansive motorway network allows accessibility without compromising the village's rural charm. Other local attractions include Manchester Airport, a golf club, and numerous footpaths that appeal to tourists.

The Chelford rail accident occurred on 22 December 1894 at Chelford railway station. The stationmaster was supervising shunting operations, during which a high-sided wagon was fly-shunted (i.e. run-off) into a siding in strong winds and rapidly fading light. As another six wagons were being run onto an adjoining road, the stationmaster saw the high-sided wagon being blown out of its siding by the wind to meet them. A collision occurred derailing the runaway in such a way that it fouled the main line just as the 16:15 Manchester to Crewe express approached, drawn by two locomotives, LNWR Waterloo Class 2-4-0 No 418 Zygia and Experiment Class No 518 Express. The stationmaster ran towards them waving a red lamp but the drivers thought he was signalling to the shunters and did not slacken speed. Zygia derailed and fell on her side whilst her tender ran up the platform ramp. Express remained upright but the first carriage demolished the front of a signalbox. In all, 14 passengers were killed and 48 injured.The inquiry had little comment to make as this seemed to be a freak accident but advised that, in future, the brakes of all shunted wagons should be immediately pinned down.A contemporary photo supposedly shows the re-railed damaged locomotive Zygia shortly after the accident.

Soss Moss Hall is a former manor house in the parish of Nether Alderley, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1583 for Thomas Wyche.
