Cheadle Conservation Area Audit...
For some time, Cheadle Civic Society has been concerned by the overall deterioration of our High Street in terms of its appearance.
Despite the fact our High Street sits within a recognised conservation area and is subject to special planning rules and regulations designed to protect its historic charm, the decline in the quality of some shop façades in recent years is clear for all to see.more...
Project Agatha...
Join us in 2026 as we celebrate Agatha Christie and her long-standing and fascinating connection with the village of Cheadle.
Throughout the year, Cheadle will host a rich programme of talks, walks, exhibitions and community events exploring Christie’s life, her visits to the area, and the enduring legacy of the world’s most famous crime writer. From local history and literary discovery to creative activities and family-friendly events, 2026 promises something for everyone.
Whether you are a lifelong Christie fan, a lover of literature, or simply curious about Cheadle’s place in her remarkable story, we invite you to join us in celebrating a unique chapter of our village’s heritage.
A year of mystery, history and discovery awaits.

Cheadle Green...
Cheadle Civic Society's largest community project to date has been the restoration of Cheadle Green.
For over 200 years Cheadle Green has served as common ground for the people of Cheadle and has an important place in the history and heritage of the village.
After decades of neglect, the Society decided to allocate funds to restore and rejuvenate the area and in 2016 became the leaseholder of Cheadle Green from Stockport Metropolitan Council.
Today the Green is solely maintained by the Society (we even pay the electricity bill for the lighting on the Green) and is very much seen as an area of beauty in the centre of the village. see more...

Village Flower Displays...
Each year the Society provides flower displays along High St and Wilmslow Rd.
The displays are fully funded for and maintained by Cheadle Civic Society.

The Ockleston Memorial...
Robert Ockleston was a popular doctor in Cheadle; after he died in 1888 a subscription was raised to fund a water fountain to his memory, erected in Cheadle in 1889.
In 2017, the Civic Society funded a major project to move Cheadle's historic grade 2 listed landmark, the Ockleston Memorial, to a new permanent home at the front of Cheadle Green.

Cheadle Medical Practice Garden...
Originally the garden was created as a community herb garden providing free herbs to the community, however, it has over the years blossomed into a stunning display of colour with a good variety of Spring and Summer plants. The garden has for many years been tended to by a dedicated Society member.
