For those who want to know, it was taken in front of the weir built in the 18th century to break flood water from crashing into the viaduct of the Duke's Canal.
The spire is the chapel at the local cemetery beside Hawthorn Lane.
The lane originally ran as far as St Mathew's Church.
Location; Chorlton and Stretord
Picture; from the collection of Andrew Simpson, 1979

Please do not include Stretford in with Manchester, we are in a different town over the border and independent of that City.
