The Titanic ……. Chorlton library …. a smelly stream and Mr Hastings ……… tales from the new book

 Today our new book, arrived from the printers. 

It is the second in the series “nothing to do in chorlton” and this one  is called "Martlege Lost and Found".

The first book has proved a runaway success, and so we been asked to repeat the format.*

The idea is that simple one where we choose six locations for you to sit, do nothing while we will tell stories of what went on at each of the six spots.

Tales which include the role of the Titanic in the history of Chorlton Library, a forgotten property developer, and the tale of a much-polluted stream, not forgetting a chunk of our lost industrial history as well as the magnificent Chorlton Ice Rink.

Like all our nothing books Martlege Lost and Found is divided into six short chapters which if you so choose can be “walked” with suitable stops to take in the views and the stories.

And to make it even easier we have made the book pocket size, selling it for the modest sum of £5, and is available from www.pubbooks.co.uk and Chorlton bookshop.
