I remember Norman Macklin, he was a little eccentric. I presume he has now passed away. He was in his 50's when I knew him. Thats 40yrs ago.

@@jjsmallpiece9234 I hope he was okay the family ditched his father John and Norman and his adopted brother because of money, my grandad Albert said on numerous occasions he couldn't care less about the money

@@jjsmallpiece9234 Norman has gone very sad my father has memories of Norman playing mozart on a piano

@@chucky2316 I grew up in Middlewich 1960/70/80s - left when I got married in 1988. Visited regularly until my parents passed away in 2009.

My grandparents and great aunt lived here . Buried in cemetery now.

@Mony Torris shame but isn't everywhere these days unless you can live in the cotswolds. We have a connection to the town my fathers uncle was John macken and Norman was his cousin we lost contact with them over the years.

That would be John Macklin. He was stationmaster up until the station finally closed to goods traffic in 1967, and later worked at Pochins as an invoice checker. His son Norman sadly died at Winsford Grange a few years ago. The station itself is long gone (although the platforms are still there) but the station master's house, where John and Norman lived all those years ago, still survives. There are plans for a new station on the Sandbach side of the Holmes Chapel Road bridge.
