Days across old Chorlton*

 October in Chorlton.

When dry January stretches to October, 2025

The holidays are fast fading, the school run takes up more time each month and the shops are stocking up for Guy Fawkes, Halloween and Christmas.

When the cars chose to leave Chorlton, 2025

And Eric is already looking for Easter eggs to hang on the Christmas tree.

So with all that in mind l took off yesterday and wa dered Chorlton.

Face at floral affair, Dave, 2025

There was much to see and a note to myself to go off and research that wonderful little shop which was once a chippy and then an antiques place and now serves up flowers and a heap of veg, fruit and groceries.

And has the best selection of pasta in Chorlton.

So one day walking across Old Chorlton, with the task of researching floral affair.

Location; Beech Road and the village Green

*Old  Chorlton the name which arose in the late 19th century to distinguish the green and Beech Road from the new development at the junction of Barlow Moor and Wilbraham Roads
