From 'Metroland’
Back to the simple life.
Back to nature.
To a shady retreat in the reeds and rushes of the River Ches.
The lure of Metroland was remoteness and quiet.
This is what a brochure of the 20's said.
‘It’s the trees, the fairy dingles, and a hundred and one things in which dame nature’s fingers have lingered long in setting out this beautiful array of wooden slope, trout stream, meadow and hill top sites’.
‘Send a postcard, for the homestead of your dreams, to ’Loudwater Estate’, Chorley Wood.
