Thanks for the link. Yes, I think "A Taste of Honey" was filmed in various locations around Stockport - e.g. The graveyard scene at the bottom of Lancasheire Hill. St Mary's church is also famous. I remember my father coming home and saying that there must be something happening as the market place was full of sandbags. They were filming "Yanks".

Earliest map I can find - 1845.

There's mention of "Brinksway Bank Print and Bleach Works" (bottom right hand corner)

The Manchester Mercury, 4 July 1829, reported on an inquest held at the Bulkeley Arms, Cheadle, Mosley into a drowning where the body was found at Brinksway Banks, having fallen into the river at Portwood.

Yes, Brinksey Banks would be Brinksway; I can't think of any alternative.

My wife lived her early years on Brinksway and is very proud that her bath (galvanised tub) can be seen hanging on the outside of her then house in one of the scenes in A Taste of Honey!
