The History Wall which opened on September 7th tells the story of Chorlton-Cum-Hardy. It's a collaboration between local artist Peter Topping, myself, and the developers McCarthy & Stone who are building retirement homes on the old Cosgrove Hall site on Albany Road.
The project spans the 80 meters of the site and has attracted a lot of interest, and now has become a tourist attraction. Well how else could it be when Cathy Santos Gonzalez and family from North Carolina chose to have their picture taken by the wall? So is this the birth of Chorlton’s first tourist attraction?
