The story of Didsbury in just twenty objects, chosen at random and delivered in a paragraph or more.
I began the series with a bus garage and the demise of the old Corporation trams, and we have come full circle.
Today, you can head east from the city centre and be in the heart of Didsbury in next to no time.
And that journey will take you along the old railway track constructed in 1880, which at the time was a major new contribution to how we travelled into the city and travelled home.
So, it is fitting that 143 years after the railway came to Didsbury, we can once again take the trip “that takes the strain”.
