Romiley is a village in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. Historically part of Cheshire, it borders Marple, Bredbury and Woodley. At the 2011 census, the Romiley ward, which includes Compstall, Bredbury Green and a large part of Bredbury, had a population of 14,139.

For centuries, it was an agricultural area until the late Victorian era, when it became a residential area with a small district centre. Romiley is served by Romiley railway station on the Hope Valley Line from Sheffield to Manchester Piccadilly. Services run westbound to Manchester Piccadilly, either via Bredbury or Woodley; eastbound trains travel either to Rose Hill Marple or to Marple and beyond to New Mills Central and Sheffield.

Frederic Calland Williams CBE FRS was born on 26 June 1911, in Romiley, Stockport. Known as F.C. Williams or Freddie Williams, he was an English engineer, a pioneer in radar and computer technology. His father was a locomotive draughtsman with Beyer Peacock, and as Fred lived near a railway, he had from a very early age an interest in and a growing knowledge of engines. When he was nine or ten, an uncle had the first wireless set that Fred had seen; he studied this carefully and then went home and made one in a cigar box. In his Bakerian Lecture in 1964, Williams said: ‘My lecture is concerned with inventive research, a topic to which I have devoted my professional life since the age of ten.’ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Calland_Williams
