This product data sheet is originally written in English.
1913-14; Five letters and a receipt from Herbert Sandford Claye at Elm House, Bollington Cross, Macclesfield, Cheshire.
Elm House As mentioned in extract from the following article "BOLLINGTON, the Happy Valley".
Elm House at 12 Bollington Road was better known to locals as Chadwicks in the mid 1930s and up to 1948 as there was a doctors surgery here run by the husband and wife team Drs`Chadwick.
There were originally three houses here, numbers 8, 10 and 12. Number 8 was demolished many years ago by local builder Ken Lomas and made into a garden. Number 10 is the white fronted house on the left in the photograph above and joined to number 12, Elm House on the right. Number 10 has had an extension built in 2014 and is where number 8 once stood, just out of the photo above on the far left.
Built around 1830, Elm House is a Georgian grade II listed building. This two storey house is built in a Flemish Bond brick pattern, has two brick chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. It has an asymmetrical three-bay front. The upper window, central bay is now bricked up, possibly due to the re introduction of Window Tax in 1851.
Census
Abraham had travelled around a lot. By the age of sixteen years he was apprentice grocer in Wales then by 1861 he was living at Endon Quarry Cottages (possiblyTurret Cottages), he married the following year. Ten years later he had moved down the road to Field Cottage, this was followed by a move to Beech Knoll on Beech lane in Macclesfield in 1881. After living in Elm House in 1891 Abraham moved to Nottingham and died there in 1904.
1901: John Charles Etchells aged forty two years from Manchester was living at Elm House, he was a Mechanical Engineer. He was also the treasurer of the Bollington Cross Sunday School Guarantee Fund. John lived with his wife Jessie also aged forty two years was also from Manchester and their four children aged between eight and fifteen years all born in Heaton Chapel bar the eldest daughter Matilda who was born in Northumberland. They also had one servant/governess twenty eight year old Maud Isabel Hunt from Derbyshire and a visitor Agnes Eva Williams aged forty five and from Manchester.
1906: Elm House was a private residence for Tom Witt and family.
1911: The Claye family lived at Elm House. Herbert Sandford Claye aged fifty was the Macclesfield Courier proprietor. He and wife Annie aged forty six years had three children living with them. They had one servant, Beatrice Skirman aged thirty six years and from Buxton.Visiting them at this time was Venable Alfred Neild, Archdeacon of Dunedin in New Zealand.
1926: Frank and Ethel Green lived at number 10 according to the Polling District West Ward records.
Elm House was later occupied in 1939 by Doctor John William Chadwick and his wife Doctor Olga Gill Chadwick and was used as a doctors surgery. Dr John’s father Daniel a retired engineer also lived with them.They had a servant Alice Scotson and her retired mother Mary also living there at this time along with a maid called Jessie a bit later on. Dr John Chadwick retired when the NHS began in 1948.
The Mottershed family bought numbers 10 and 12 Bollington Road at an auction around 1981. They had a shoe shop in number 10 and they lived in number 12. Later number 10 became an off-licence and video shop. By 1989 the shop also had the odd groceries available too. In 1983 some land adjacent to Kingsway off the back garden of Elm House was sold off and two houses were built there. A few years later numbers 10 and 12 were separated internally and number 10 was sold to a company who sold Persian rugs from there. This business is still trading in a unit in Clarence Mill.
So for many years number 10 and number 12 were ‘the same place /connected’ hence why I have included number 10 on this page.
Elm House, number 12 is now used as an architect’s office although it has just been sold at the time of writing (12/2018).
