Climbed from Little Hayfield where the old mill has been converted, like so many others, into apartments for commuters to nearby Manchester and Stockport. Local residents of Hayfield have included - Tony Warren the creator of Coronation Street (memorabilia in the Lantern Pike Inn) and Arthur Lowe of Dads Army. In the 1920s-30s around 5,000 people each weekend would travel from Manchester to Hayfield by train to enjoy the countryside around Kinder Scout. There is an annual fell race up Lantern Pike. | Chris Pearson | 06/08/2015 |
