Digital Hearing Aids Cheadle Hulme – Greater Manchester Digital Hearing Aids

Digital Hearing Aids Cheadle Hulme – Greater Manchester Digital Hearing Aids 

Cheadle Hulme is commuter territory.  It is less than 10 miles to Manchester which is the destination for most of the commuters.  Interestingly Cheadle Hulme started life hundreds of years ago as a series of hamlets and unlike most towns and cities wasn’t built around a church.

In the Domesday Book it was part of a large estate which included Cheadle and was valued at just £20.  Although there were signs of Bronze Age settlers and Romans, Cheadle Hulme’s first owner was the Earl of Chester.  In the 13th Century the area became the property of the Chedle family but they took their name from the area not vice versa.  Through the centuries, Cheadle Hulme and Cheadle had a chequered history of ownership.  The estate was split in two hence Cheadle Hulme in the south and Cheadle in the north.

White noise
Fly in your ear?  Or just white noise?  Yes if you’re having trouble hearing us correctly maybe you need some help.  Hearing impairment can be caused by a number of conditions from heredity disposition, ear wax, constant abuse by loud noises and of course deterioration as you age.

At Castle Hearing Aids we can help you identify the cause of your problem with the help of a professional audiologist who will test both ears.  From there we can assess how we might be able to help you further with digital hearing aids.  If you’d like to arrange for a test or learn more, please call us on 01782 698090.

Ancient buildings
Cheadle Hulme has other ancients besides you! Yes some of its buildings go back a long way.  Bramall Hall for instance dates from the 14th Century so it’s little wonder that it has Grade I listing.  (It’s a shame we can’t claim similar credence when we reach a certain age!)

Bramall Hall is a Tudor manor house complete with signature black and white timber frame.  It can be found at the heart of 70 acres landscaped parkland, a conservation area.  The general public are welcomed in both the park and the house.

An area in Cheadle Hulme namely Swann Lane, Hulme Hall Road and Hill Top Avenue also form a conservation area with 16th and 17th Century buildings with timber frames and Victorian homes.  The area also boasts two Grade II listed buildings, Hulme Hall, another timber framed manor house and 1 Higham Street.  The latter was once known as Hill Cottage and is built in a similar style to Hulme Hall, both date from 16th or 17th Century.  Hulme Hall is now a nursing home.

The 17th Century Millington Hall is also Grade II listed.  When you’re looking for it now, you’ll find it renamed as the John Millington pub!

The Kings Hall pub in Station Road only dates back to the 1930s when it was a dance hall complete with stage and orchestra pit.  During the 1960s some of the best know Liverpool bands played here – we wonder which ones?  Now it’s a pub.

Beautiful scenery
There are two main parks in the area.  Oak Meadow Park is in the centre of town and is mainly grass and woodland.  It’s a welcoming space to take a walk or relax in.  Many community projects use the park for annual events.

If you’re looking for somewhere with lots of activities then Bruntwood Park is the place.  The original manor house Bruntwood Hall built in the 19th Century is now offices but the park offers lots of fun activities from an 18 hole pitch and put course to a BMX track, football pitches to kids’ play areas.

War effort
Cheadle Hulme was host to evacuees in the Second World War from both Manchester and the Channel Islands.

RAF Handforth was a supply post during the war making sure that the RAF had everything they needed from knives and forks to engines.
