Joining the rest of the HanDan caches to our cache at Guide Bridge Station, this one is placed just inside a public field, ajoining a local football pitch, so discresion is required on match days (Saturdays),
the cache is a locklid plastic box, with pencil and a few small swappables. Terrain can get muddy in wet weather.
Parking is available just near the gate entrance to the field.
Hooley Hill which became the core of the later Audenshaw UDC, developed along the turnpike route between Stockport, Denton and Ashton where it crossed the road from Audenshaw to Dukinfield. The main period of growth was from the 1790’s to the 1830’s, when a strong hatting industry was established in the village In 1795 there were 238 houses in Audenshaw, most of them in the new settlement known as Quebec, later to become Hooley Hill In 1823 Butterworth described the settlement as ‘now a very populous village' and noted that there were over 250 houses here and a population of about 1500. There was a small Wesleyan Methodist chapel, with a school attached, and a New Connection Methodist chapel. The majority of the buildings were strung along Guide Lane.
