Cheadle Hulme is a suburb in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester, England. Historically in Cheshire, it lies south-east of Manchester, in the Ladybrook Valley. In 2011, it had a population of 26,479. Evidence of Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon activity, including coins, jewellery and axes, has been discovered locally. The area was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086; in the early 14th century, it was split into southern and northern parts at about the future locations of Cheadle Hulme and Cheadle respectively. Unlike many English villages, it did not grow around a church; instead it formed from several hamlets. From the late 19th century until 1974, Cheadle Hulme was united with neighbouring places to form the urban district of Cheadle and Gatley. Thereafter, Cheadle Hulme became a distinct place in its own right. Cheadle Hulme has a railway station and is close to Manchester Airport, the M60 and the A34.
