Manley is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester (formerly Vale Royal) and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, in the north west of England.

[1] When the railway came through the quarry was connected to it via a rail siding close to Manley Station - which was one of the shortest lived passenger stations, opening on 22 June 1870 and closing for passengers on 1 May 1875, though it remained open for goods traffic.

The quarry sidings closed around 1910, though the track remained in use for freight traffic until 1991.

[2] The television writer and novelist Cyril Abraham, who created the popular BBC drama The Onedin Line, lived in Manley until his death.
