The town also has an abundance of classic Georgian architecture throughout.

Staff Recommendations – Knutsford is famous for it’s abundance and eclectic mix of restaurants, traditional pubs, bars and tea rooms. These include Gusto, Piccolinos, Loch Fyne and Belle Epoque – which features two pillars taken from the original St. Peter’s Church in Manchester, a Mediterranean Roof Garden and the Italianate style ‘Gaskell Memorial Tower’, a living embodiment of the Belle Epoque Era.
Local Knowledge - Knutsford was recorded in William the Conqueror’s ‘Doomsday Book’ of 1066 as ‘Cunetesford’ (‘Canute’s Ford’) derived from the place where Danish King Canute ‘forded’ the River Lily in 1016. Later variations of the town’s name are Knotesforde (1281), Knodesford (1354), and Knyzteford (1398).
The town was granted its first charter in 1292 and the town’s central position resulted in it being known as the ‘Capital of Cheshire’.
Knutsford is a pretty, interesting Market town, with original cobbled streets and has Georgian buildings and houses, typified in Elizabeth Gaskell’s famous story of ‘Cranford’, which was set in 19th century Knutsford. Elizabeth Gaskell, 1810 – 65, the novelist and biographer, spent most of her life in the town and the house where she grew up stands in what is now Gaskell Avenue.
The main town centre streets, Princess Street (also known locally as Top Street and where Rohan is situated) and King Street lower down, and also known as Bottom Street, form the ‘hub’ of the town. At one end of the narrow King Street is an entrance to Tatton Park.
Tatton Park is one of the North West’s most popular heritage attractions. Over 750,000 visits are made each year to the 1,000 acres of deer park, Mansion, Gardens, Old Hall, rare breeds Farm and events. Most popular events include the annual RHS Tatton Show, Antique fares and music concerts.

Am travelling up from Cornwall on Saturday for younger bro’s 60th at the Cross Keys, nearby. Will be looking in late morning-ish with the cycling specific gear in mind. 38″ waist for shorts; yes? My wife will want to try the ladies version on also. I’ve been banging on for a long time about cycling specific clothing by Rohan, so, great to see it!
I came, I saw, I bought! Have to say that the two lovely people in this store were sooooooo helpful, encouraging and knowledgeable . Thank you for your time and genuine interest.
Will from Cornwall
