BACKGROUND

Cheadle in Bloom was established in 2006 initially as a local council initiative but now run as a volunteer group, with the following objectives:

To promote initiatives within the Community which improve the environmental presentation of Cheadle for the benefit of residents, businesses and visitors.  In particular to: 

    • Encourage and develop floral displays.

    • Improve the quality and sustainability of permanent planting including shrubs.

    • Contribute to environmental improvements

    • Develop public awareness of Cheadle in Bloom and the benefits for residents.

The Group has been very active since then and the quality of its work resulted in it achieving a Gold award in the Heart of England in Bloom competition in 2009.

A little about Cheadle

Located in the North of Staffordshire,(and not to be confused by the one in Cheshire!) Cheadle is a picturesque and busy little market town whose history dates back to the time of the Domesday Book (1086). Cheadle is now more popularly known as the gateway to Alton Towers due to its close proximity to Britain's most popular theme park. although it is also within easy reach of the wonderful scenery of the Staffordshire Moorlands, with the beautiful Churnet Valley only 10 minutes drive away.
Cheadle is home to two St. Giles churches. The Roman Catholic St. Giles Church is one of the finest churches in Britain, described as "Pugin's Gem" as it was designed in the 19th century by A.W.N. Pugin, one of the architects famous for the design of the Houses of Parliament. A major series of celebrations in the town is being planned to celebrate the 200th anniversary of his birth on 1st May 1812.
Over the past few years Cheadle has been involved in a regeneration project that has seen many of the shop fronts refurbished. The design and colour scheme used on the buildings throughout the project has given a unique feel to the Town. A tour of the town is highly recommended or take the "Video Tour".

Little Known Fact: The stone used to build the Thames Barrier was quarried from Cheadle!
