After looking uop my village on Wiki the other day i just thought it could be a way of getting to know each other by posting a link to your home village/town/city/shack on WIkipedia and then saying what you think of it.
Here's mine Cheddleton
or for the nearest town try Leek.
The fact that one of the myths about cheddleton involves a curate eating an egg tells you a lot about Cheddleton. Leek however is slightly more interesting as to have a legend about a Mermaid in one of the most landlocked areas of Britain is unique.
However it does miss out an important fact about Cheddleton and that is that all the destroyed birds who have Bird flu are incinerated at the local meat rendering plant. Excuse me a minute i fell a cold coming on.
