Description
Excerpt from A Deliverance
Darley is a Cheshire village with most of the charaéteristics of Derbyshire, upon which it borders. It is traversed by two roads, which cut one another almost at right angles in the heart of the village; the old road between Manchester and the South, which descends abruptly to debouch upon the open space fronting the Boar, and rises again steeply through Higher Darley and the newer, duller, commoner, more convenient highway which runs its course on the valley levels. Darley, in these latter days, has become a suburb of Manchester, from which it is distant a dozen or more miles. Red brick villas, at the best unsuited to the country, are fast converting beautiful places into eligible sites, and the march of civilisation is only delayed by a defective train service.
