If you had booked your Bed and Breakfast in Chinley prior to 1867, you would have struggled to find it on the map as this village evolved around the junction of two mainline railways and before that date there were only a few scattered properties here at an area then known as Four Lane Ends. Although you can no longer catch a train direct to London from your Bed and Breakfast in Chinley, you can go to either Stockport or Sheffield and catch a connection.
Your Bed and Breakfast in Chinley could well be in a former railway workers of mill workers cottage, as many of the properties to be found here were built to house them. In the 19th century it is said that no less than three textile mills used water from Black Brook to work their waterwheels.
Views from your Bed and Breakfast in Chinley could well be across to an old railway bridge or viaduct as there are some wonderful examples spanning the hills.
For an evening out whilst staying at your Bed and Breakfast in Chinley you may wish to visit the Old Hall Inn. This fine Elizabethan building was formerly known as Whitehough Hall.
From your Bed and Breakfast in Chinley you may wish to walk to Chinley Churn. This strangely named hill which rises to 1480 feet has been exploited over the centuries for its stone. It could well be that the roofing slates or paving stones outside your Bed and Breakfast in Chinley came from this very hill.
William Bagshawe was a Chinley lad who later went on to be known as the Apostle of the Peak, and whilst staying at your Bed and Breakfast in Chinley you could well find reference to his name.
