This page is dedicated to the late John Minshull who made detailed research of Sandbach history and collected many old photographs in the process. This page will contain a selection of photographs from the collection, and these will be changed regularly.

The Stage Coach

The only way from Elworth to Sandbach other than walking was by stage coach.

Here we see it fully loaded coming from the station along Middlewich road heading to drop its passengers of at the Wheatsheaf in the centre of town. Taken at the turn of the century.
