Does anybody in the Cheadle area know where Springfield Lane was? I have found Springfield Road and am wondering if it was nearby? I am attempting to find out more about Springfield House, which in the 1891 census appeared to be a small school with around 30 inhabitants. It was run by a Percy and Mary Colles.
Thanks.

Hello Liz,
Springfield Lane was next to Bloom St and I am wondering if it is what is now known as Avondale Road. It was certainly in that sort of area. Contact me via PM or email.

Liz,
I have now sourced Springfield House on the 1875 OS Map. It was not as I thought Avondale Rd. It ran north/south roughly between Brinksway and Edgely Rd parallel to what is now Northgate Rd.

Thank you for all your suggestions. It is much appreciated. I would consider that area to be Stockport but I assume it came under Cheadle at that time?
Thanks again,
Liz

Cheadle and Stockport are in Cheshire, not Lancashire.

Liz,
In 1846 it was part of the parish of Cheadle and in the township of Cheadle Bulkely as opposed to where you are located in Cheadle Moseley. (Moseley Hall used to be on the site of the hotel at the bottom of the hill).

There is a Springfield House in Mill Lane in Cheadle. Could this be the same Springfield House?

Springfield House is in a substantial plot of land in 1910 on Northgate Road probably where Kilburn/ Eldon / Clyde Road's are!
