The busy A6 into Stockport from Hazel Grove.
Behind the building having its roof repaired is St George's Church.
St George's Church on Buxton Road at Heaviley was constructed between 1892 and 1897, to designs by Austin and Paley, led by Hubert Austin. The building was endowed by George Fearn, a local brewer. It is built of Runcorn sandstone with lead roofs, designed in a free perpendicular gothic style. The octagonal spire is 230 foot high and a landmark in the area.
On top of the steeple is a white cock.
