Cheadle Heath

Cheadle Heath (pron.: ) is a suburban area of Stockport, part of the wider Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, in Greater Manchester, England. It is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Stockport's town centre and 8 miles (13 km) southeast of the city of Manchester.

Cheadle Heath was also the site of Cheadle Heath Railway Station until 1967: the site is now largely occupied by Morrison's supermarket.

Industry

Cheadle Heath is home to a number of engineering companies including Thales Underwater Systems, a company formed from the sonar activities of Ferranti.

Henry Simon built a large factory and office complex on Bird Hall Lane in 1926. The distinctive tower at the front of the research and development block was used to test experimental flour milling machinery. Most of the site is now demolished. Nearby was the Oil Well Engineering Company, a manufacturer of oil exploration drilling equipment that closed down in 1998.
