Woolroad Manchester Map

About Woolroad

Woolroad, a quiet corner of Greater Manchester, carries the scent of damp earth after a spring shower. It lies 4.6 km east-north-east of Lees (from Lees: bearing 62°T, OS grid SD 994 067), and is situated east-north-east of Dobcross village. The light here often has a soft, diffused quality, as if filtered through the lingering mists that can drape the surrounding Pennine foothills. Though not a place of grand monuments, Woolroad's modest dwellings and the gentle rise and fall of its lanes speak of generations who have worked the land and, in times past, perhaps tended to the wool trade that gave the place its name. The sky above Woolroad seems to hold a particular depth, especially as dusk gathers, hinting at the vast, open spaces that lie just beyond the suburban fringe.
