    "A NEW book unveils the WW1 heroes from the “bravest street in England” through candid images of the community they came from.
    Pictures taken during WW1 show a procession of soldier-residents of Chapel Street in Altrincham, Greater Manchester and the Altrincham Borough Band at the unveiling ceremony for the Chapel Street Roll of Honour, a memorial for the street’s recruits unveiled by the Earl of Stamford on April 5, 1919.
    The Bravest Little Street in England by Karen Cliff documents the origins of this celebrated street called “the bravest little street in England” by King George after the community saw 161 men from 60 of its homes serve in the First World War, with 29 of those killed in action.
    Three years of research by Trafford Local Studies staff and a group of volunteers, have led to the story of this remarkable little street and the people who lived there finally being told in The Bravest Little Street in England."
