On Friday 3 May, we had the honour of being invited to talk to Ms Salt's Year 2 class about the history of Alderley Edge.
 

Our initial fears about how to keep a group of youngsters engaged, proved wildly unfounded. For around an hour, they entertained us, with observations, questions and well-mannered and intelligent enthusiasm.

​

We presented a series of photographs and facts about our village, and their level of understanding and knowledge was quite astounding.

​

I am sure they will remember the message that they should look up when walking around the village, but to also look where they are stepping in case a horse had recently passed by!

​

Our thanks to Ms Salt and Mrs Sym for allowing us to visit, and to Roger Thawley, for the use of some of his very fascinating photographs.
