Mill Lade (not Lane) on off-shoot of the River Bollin which fed water to the Corn Mill (where the Business Park now stands near the Railway Viaduct).
If you walk down Wilmslow Park South from Macclesfield Road about 50-100yds before you reach the River Bollin Bridge you will notice another (near identical bridge) which uses red and blue engineering brick. If you care to look over the side of this bridge you will notice beneath is a small archway. This is where the Mill Lade ran. Unfortunately this area either side of the road is largely overgrown and Lade itself is barely visible. Perhaps the council will place a plaque there one day explaining why the bridge was built as it is no longer self evident. '
