In 1928 the Bollington Wesleyan Bazaar published a Recipe and Quotation Book<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong> This was designed to promote, in particular, Bollington retailers, and to raise funds for the Wesleyan Methodist church<\/a> in Wellington Road<\/a>. This page began as a list of the historic Bollington shops mentioned in the book. The individual pages of the book can be seen here<\/a>. However the page has been expanded to include services traders and businesses.<\/p>\n

Where possible a date is shown after each entry to indicate when the business was trading. This is a date for which we have evidence. They may, of course, have been in business in the decades before and after the date shown.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
