Marple Poppy Appeal 2018

This weekend you will see almost 200 Street Poppies appearing on the lampposts of Marple, Marple Bridge, Compstall, Mellor and High Lane as the Marple Poppy Appeal commemorates 198 men from the district who lost their lives during WWI.

The Marple Website is proud to be one of the first sponsors of Marple's Street Poppies in 2018 with a donation of £50 to the Marple Poppy Appeal.

The Friends of Marple Memorial Park have erected 20 poppies commemorating men with links to the park - mainly the Carver family and men who worked at Hollins Mill before going to war. Other volunteers, including Marple Firefighters, have been out erecting poppies in the main streets of the area.

If you would like to sponsor the Street Poppies in support of the appeal then please get in touch via: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Planning for Marple Skatepark Phase II is granted at last and the funding news is very positive too!
