Sweets in Wilmslow: Cheshire's Golden Triangle, and the Town Where Alan Turing Is Buried

Wilmslow, in Cheshire East, had a population of around 26,000 — a commuter town that's become one of the most recognisable names in the North West for reasons that have little to do with its original character as a mill village on the River Bollin.

Cheshire's Golden Triangle

Wilmslow, together with neighbouring Alderley Edge and Prestbury, is commonly referred to as Cheshire's 'Golden Triangle', an area known nationally for its high property prices and for being home to a notable concentration of Premier League footballers and business figures, thanks partly to its easy road and rail links into Manchester.

The town has a quieter, more significant claim too: mathematician and codebreaker Alan Turing spent the final years of his life living in Wilmslow and died there in June 1954. He's buried at Woodford Cemetery near the town, and Wilmslow's connection to Turing is marked locally, including at Wilmslow High School, which he attended.

What that history doesn't leave behind

Wilmslow's town centre has plenty of independent boutiques and cafes, but no dedicated sweet shop or wholesale supplier — for bulk bags, pick 'n' mix by the kilo, or vegan and halal-friendly ranges, there's nowhere local set up for it.
