Hollin Old Hall is a house in Bollington, Cheshire, England. The oldest part of the house dates from the seventeenth century. In the middle of the eighteenth century the roof was raised, and an addition was made to the rear of the house for Richard Broster. It was remodelled and expanded in about 1870 for the Ascoli family. The building has since been divided into two houses. It is constructed in coursed buff sandstone rubble, with a Kerridge stone-slate roof, a stone ridge, and stone chimneys. The house is in two storeys over a barrel-roofed cellar. The main front has three bays with nineteenth-century four-light windows, and two gables, each with a two-light window. Elsewhere the house is in Jacobean style, with windows that are mullioned and transomed, or just mullioned. In the cellar is a large slab inscribed "This must stand here forever, Richard Broster 1757". The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

Bollington railway station
Bollington railway station

Bollington railway station was a railway station serving the town of Bollington in Cheshire, England. It was opened in 1869 by the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway (MB&M) - a joint line constructed and operated by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&L) and North Staffordshire Railways (NSR). The passenger station was on the north side of Grimshaw Lane, with a goods yard on the south side. Initially services ran between Macclesfield and Marple, but this was soon extended so that direct trains ran between Macclesfield and Manchester London Road. A number of additional services were supplied between Bollington and Macclesfield, as a significant number of Macclesfield workers lived in Bollington. In 1921, there were 14 additional shuttle services between the two towns using a petrol railcar purchased by the Great Central Railway (GCR) (successor to the MS&L) and nicknamed the "Bollington Bug". The Bug was replaced in 1935 by a Sentinel steam railcar that ran the shuttle service, until it was withdrawn at the start of 1939.The station buildings were built to NSR designs, as were most other structures on the MB&M, while most train services were operated by the MS&L and later the GCR. An exception to this being the NSR Summer Saturday services between Macclesfield and Buxton.The station closed in January 1970, along with the line between Macclesfield and Marple; the buildings were demolished and the track was lifted by the end of 1971. The trackbed now forms part of the Middlewood Way, a recreational path between Macclesfield and Marple. Part of the goods station site provides a car park for the path.
