Dist:0.3km north<br/>One of Holmes Chapel's long-established family businesses, now somewhat squeezed by the volume of traffic on the A535. The HGV will have to use both lanes to negotiate the mini-roundabout a few yards behind the photographer.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>A narrow passage runs round the parish church, with an alley through to Mandeville's bakery, a very old-established business. These houses at the rear of the church are some of the oldest in the village.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Although barely past 3pm, the dismal weather has made it almost dark already. These two shops - an estate agent and a traditional butcher - stand opposite the church.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The original core of the village. The main A50 narrows to a single lane to negotiate the gap between church and shops on the opposite side of the road.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>A long-established, family-run business, Morreys sits squarely at the centre of the village by one of a pair of mini-roundabouts. The latter provide many hours of amusement to the locals when the M6 is blocked and HGVs try to escape via Holmes Chapel. Morreys range of hardware, bikes, pet goods and garden items is outstanding: if they haven't got it, you probably don't need it!

Dist:0.4km north<br/>A stone plaque on the downstream side of the bridge reads "Tho. Hall Ironmaster 1707". The walk from Twemlow Viaduct along the Dane is very pleasant.
