The paraphernalia of road works arrived this morning and all the street waits to see what will happen.
Brought to you by that series “A Week in the History of Beech Road”.*
And yes, the road signs were delivered to Cross Road, which is next to Beech Road, and who knows just where the pavement will be dug up.
Leaving me just to add for those wanting to know some history.
Cross Road dates from the 1870s, was known as Cross Street and Cross Lane which is one in the eye for all those “there are no streets in Chorlton”.
