Now I wonder who caught the 132 or 134 from this bus stop opposite the parish churchyard, or for that matter where the bus went.
I can remember at one time there was a bus that came from town and dropped you on the green, but its number has long ago passed out of my memory.
On the rare occasion I did catch it, I ended up near the Horse and Jockey, which was always a surprise.
Leaving that aside the picture offers up a host of detail.
Just beyond that fence was the old barn which had belonged to the Higginbotham Farm and in the 1980s was used by the Walker Brothers.
Years later in a conversation with Tony Walker, it turns out that in the barn there had been a stone block with an inscription that in the barn the Wesleyans had held religious services which was confirmed by Thomas Ellwood, who during the winter and spring of 1885-86 wrote 26 articles on the history of Chorlton-cum-Hardy.
