Top Best Western in Mottram in Longdendale from AED 283 - Expedia

Warhill Sundial According to the Public Monument and Sculpture Association http://pmsa.cch.kcl.ac.uk/MR/MR-TAM22.htm "It is widely assumed that the present sundial stands on or close to the site of the Mottram Cross though both the documentary and archaeological evidence of an older cross is frustratingly slight. It is unclear when a cross was first built and when a sundial was added. Writing shortly after the erection of the present monument, Thomas Middleton repeated the local tradition that the cross was erected in or about 1760 though he did note that there appeared to be some confusion about whether the reports referred to the Mottram Crown Pole which was also raised in that coronation year. Aikin, or more likely Stockdale who had first-hand knowledge of Mottram, noted the existence of an ancient cross by the churchyard in the much quoted volume of 1795. Notes made by John Wagstaffe, churchwarden at St Michael's, state that the sundial was the work of a Mr Wardleworth. It is, however, known that the present sundial was built using stone from the earlier cross, and erected in honour of Queen's Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The new sundial was situated a short distance from the place where the cross stood and was paid for by 'a few private subscribers'."

"I am very happy with the hotel , it is right in the centre of the city on a very busy street. The room was of good quality and clean. Only issue was that the AC / heating unit in the room made a rattling noise when on so i couldn't really use it however there was a oil heating radiator unit in the room,. "
