A wall and a sign …..

Sometimes that intriguing picture fails to deliver.

The wall, 2023

Now in the case of this wall there will be a story. 

It fronts a house which dates from sometime between 1934 and 1955 and occupies the garden of what was Rye Bank House, which may date back to the early 1860s and is one of those old Chorlton properties which pops up regularly on the blog.

The inn fill brick looks older and more weathered than the rest and it stretches down the side of the house acting as a boundary wall.

It may be all that now exists of Rye Bank House and I wonder if the builder decided to incorporate it when the new house was built.

The sign, 2023

I could of course knock on and ask the present resident, which I think I will do.

Leaving me with just the big road sign almost beside the bus stop on Edge Lane.

It is big and clearly is designed to make sure you know what is ahead.
