Chorlton-cum-Hardy The Story at Albany Road, tomorrow

It’s the story of where we live, from the 16th century to now, spread over an exhibition site on the old Cosgrave Hall site on Albany Road.

Sponsored by the site developer McCarthy and Stone, the exhibition by Peter and I will be opened by Lord Bradley of Withington at mid day.  We have called it the History Wall.

Not only will you be able to follow that story but we have designed it so you can walk it in 80 meters.  You start at Chorlton Green in 1512, travel along Wilbraham Road and Barlow Moor Road during the 19th century taking in the changes featured in the buildings along the route and end close to the modern tram station and the proposed new developments on the old Cosgrove Hall site.
