Arthur Wakefield

(? - 21/05/2020)

We start with a sound clip from Arthur Wakefield, the club's founding father.

This is one of his best known songs about Bollington, a village near Macclesfield which nestles between two hills.

One is The Nab and the other is the Saddle of Kerridge and it is on this latter hill that White Nancy stands (see photo below).
