Wilmslow falls within the political constituency of Tatton, represented by George Osborne the former Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is one of the most affluent constituencies in the UK and is well known for having many famous residents, notably footballers and stars of Coronation Street. However, it also boasts many historical connections, including the discovery of Lindow Man in Lindow Moss. Preserved in the peat bogs for 2000 years, Lindow man is one of the most important Iron Age finds in the country.
Like many other towns in the area, Wilmslow benefited hugely from the growth of the cotton industry in the 19th century, and the town’s close connections to the Industrial Revolution can be seen in nearby Quarry Bank Mill, now a National Trust site and one of the best preserved textile mills of the Industrial Revolution. It’s not only home to footballers and TV stars- one of Wilmslow’s most notable past residents is Alan Turing, the driving force behind the Bombe machine for cracking the German Enigma cypher during World War II.
