Guild Hall Cheadle

The Catholic Guild Hall, Cheadle was originally owned by the miners in Cheadle.

There were several open cast mines in the area and the miners had no social club of their own. For every ton of coal taken from the mine in Leek Road, Cheadle, the miners each contributed a shilling to save for a social club and the hall was built around 1928.

The mines soon got in to difficulties and were forced to close, the local catholic priest, John Joseph MacDonald (‘Fr Mac’), bought the hall for the town and has remained the property of the catholic church ever since.

Over the years the hall was host to many of the big dance bands, and people would come from all over the country to dance on its famed sprung floor.
