What we bought in Chorlton in 1936

Now I have Steve Casson to thank for this page from the 1936 St Clement’s Parish Magazine.



The rest as they say is up to you.

For those who go back a long time, some of the names will be familiar, and search of the locations using google street maps will offer up what has taken the place of these businesses.

All I will comment on is the emphasis on pure milk.

  1. How interesting! Is Beach Rd what we now know as Beech Rd? Did it change it's name? I thought it was named after a Beech tree that was once there. Or perhaps it is typo? And the Neal butcher is presumably linked to Neale Rd, off Beech Rd?

    1. Yes I think it is a typo, it has always been Beech Road since the 1870s when it replaced the old name of Chorlton Row.
