The village of Goostrey lies in the south of the county of Cheshire in England. Originally a small farming community, it grew slowly with the development of the railway between Manchester and Crewe and then more recently over the last 40 years with the advent of the M6 motorway. Boasting a wide range of amenities - two churches, a thriving primary school, excellent community-owned sports facilities, a number of shops and two pubs - all supported by an active community, Goostrey demonstrates that village life is far from dead.

This website captures the village's history and its current activities.
