"Holmes Chapel is a large village of just under 6000 residents; the village centre is about a mile from Junction 18 on the M6, 20 miles north of Stoke on Trent and 25 miles south of Manchester. Originally on a drovers' route and then coaching routes it was a farming community which had strong transport links with surrounding towns. These links were further enhanced by the coming of the railways and more recently the M6. The impact on Holmes Chapel has been a growth from about 400 residents in the 1800's to almost 6000 now and most of that growth has occurred since the 1950's." Source: (visit link)
