Good grief, that's where I was born. Manchester Rd, Chorlton to be
precise.
How is the old place?

The streets are lovely and clean with fabulous front gardens. Around
my allotment each street trees have sweatpeas up them or clematis and
roses. It's quite charming really. But the house prices ... there's no
chance I'll ever be able to purchase one. I had fallen in love with
one a couple of years ago and when I visited the agency, the house was
going for £400K. I'll content myself with my lotty plot ;o) Chorlton
is really buzing - lots of new cafes, shops and restaurant/pubs. It's
very trendy now. Lots of organic veg shops, organic boucher/fish
stalls etc. I counted 5 flower shops on Saturday. Had lunch there,
again, as it's my village really and I always meet someone I know. I'm
sure you'd like it very much.

Thanks for that, it sounds completely different to the place where I lived
in the 50s/early 60s. I'll have to go and have a look around next time I'm
back up north.

Incidentally, aren't your allotments on the line of what was the railway
when I were a lad? I just checked it out on google earth and it looks like
that.
