About

Wilmslow is a town in Cheshire East focused around a compact centre of shops, cafes and professional services. The High Street and surrounding streets contain a mix of independent retailers and longer-established businesses, with a parish church, St Bartholomew, set close to the centre. The town grew in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway; Wilmslow railway station remains an active hub with regular services to Manchester and Crewe, which shapes daily life and commuting patterns in the area.

Green space sits close to the town core: the River Bollin runs past Wilmslow and the Carrs, a riverside park, provides paths and open space within walking distance of shops and houses. Local facilities include the library and community venues that host markets and events through the year. Residential streets around the centre contain a mix of housing from different periods, and a number of older villas and terraces reflect the town’s expansion during the railway era. The result is a town whose layout and services are centred on the station and riverside.
