Woodley is a suburb in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It is situated mostly on the east side of the Peak Forest Canal, next to Bredbury, Romiley and the boundary with Tameside, at Gee Cross. Historically part of Cheshire, the name means "a clearing in the wood" because the area contains a lot of woodland.

Religion

Woodley Methodist Church - exterior
Woodley Methodist Church interior

Woodley Methodist Church, sited on Chapel Street, has been a part of the community since 1868; the building was rebuilt in 1998.[1]

St Mark's Church, sited on Redhouse Lane in Bredbury, is an Anglican church which serves the parish of Bredbury and Woodley.[2]

Transport

Railway

Woodley railway station is a stop on the Hope Valley line; it is on the Hyde Loop which stretches from Ashburys to Romiley, via Guide Bridge but by-passing Bredbury.

Northern Trains operates services in a generally half-hourly pattern between Manchester Piccadilly and Rose Hill Marple on Mondays to Saturdays; there is no service on Sundays.[3]

Buses

Stagecoach Manchester operates two local bus routes:[4]

Roads

Woodley is situated close to J25 of the M60 Manchester orbital motorway. The A560 passes through the suburb, which runs between Altrincham, Stockport, Gee Cross and Hattersley.

Canal

The Peak Forest Canal runs through Woodley, which features a long tunnel under the A560. It was completed in 1805. Although much of the canal fell into disuse by the early 1960s, it was restored and reopened subsequently in April 1974.[5]

Education

Woodley has two primary schools:

  • Woodley Primary School, previously called Woodley Infant and Junior schools. The school also ran a nursery which was next to (and connected to) Woodley Methodist Church.
  • Greave Primary School, in Greave, on the border with Romiley.

Primary school aged children can also attend a nearby school in neighbouring Bredbury: St. Mark's Church of England Primary School on Redhouse Lane; this was the original infant and junior school for the locality.

Most students then feed to either Werneth School, Marple Hall School or Harrytown Catholic High School for their secondary education.

Community

Woodley is home to four pubs: The White Hart, The Railway, The Navigation and The Woodley Arms. They form the start of the Ring of Death, a pub crawl that takes in Woodley, Bredbury, Romiley and ends in Greave; it used to consist of twenty pubs in total and was a traditional marathon undertaken by locals at Christmas.

Woodley was also home to a snooker hall which, following the removal of its snooker tables, became the Palace Bar; it has now closed.

Sport

Woodley is the home of semi-professional football club Stockport Town. They are currently members of the North West Counties League Premier Division, the ninth tier of English football, and play at Stockport Sports Village.[6]

Stockport Sports Village is located in Woodley; facilities include a gym, sauna, football pitches and fitness courses.[7]

Woodley Cricket Club play their home matches at their facilities on High Lane.[8]
