Now many will be familiar with Alan who dresses well and who in his time has been mistaken for a University professor and a leading member of a 70’s rock group.
Neither of which is true, but for the real story you will have to wait for the publication of our new book on Chorlton which will be out for Christmas.
Following on the success of the other Chorlton books which we have produced individually and collectively we have now finished the “very interesting but little known bits of Chorlton’s past” which features everything from Kemp’s Corner to the story of a library and the Titanic and more than a few people who were either born here, lived here or passed through.
The title is the Quirks of Chorlton-cum-Hardy but for now I shall just fall back on Woody Allen, and say that the theme is simply “everything you ever wanted to know about Chorlton but never knew who to ask.”
So that is it.
The book will be on the shelves of Chorlton Bookshop in mid November and in someone’s stocking on Christmas Day.
