SUMMARY During the medieval period, both the manor of Nether Alderley and the township of Chorley comprised small, dispersed settlement. This is still true of Nether Alderley today. However, in the mid-19th century, Chorley became a popular and desirable location to live and its expansion, prompted by the arrival of the railway, caused its name to be changed to Alderley Edge, so as to avoid confusion with Chorley in Lancashire (Carlon 1979, 11). The close proximity and shared histories of Nether Alderley and Alderley Edge has meant that the most effective method of assessment is to consider both settlements in one report. 1.1 Topography and Geology Nether Alderley and Alderley Edge are located in north-eastern Cheshire.
