A number of contributors look at the landscape archaeology of Alderly Edge, which has been continuously shaped for more than four thousand years. From its Mesolithic origins, to the miners of the Early Bronze Age, Romans in the fourth century AD, medieval quarry-men, miners from the 18th - 20th century, estate-workers in the 18th century, to those who wander on the landscape in the present day, the implications of a changing and developing archaeology are examined in this study.
