About The Strines Nightingale
The Railway Children
Many believe that the inspiration for The Railway Children came from Strines, a village in Stockport, between Marple and New Mills.
The Railway Children has never been out of print since it was first published in 1906. It has been made into two major films, four television series, a film sequel and a play.
Walkers can choose from two trails which start at Strines Railway Station on the Hope Valley Line.
