It was our first house and it cost £2,350 including the carpets!. Our children attended St John’s Primary School on High Lane, that was before the new school was built. There was a bank on the four corners of the junction of Wilbraham Road and Barlow Moor Road. The shops catered for all our needs. There was a UCP, Quarmy’s toy shop where I used to buy my son Corgi cars - cheaper than Dinky’s! Next door was a shoe shop where they would measure for Clark’s school shoes. Maypole grocers, good for bacon and cheese. A Post office, a travel agent where my friend and I bought a winter break in Majorca at a cost of £25 for five days in a 4star hotel. The first supermarket opened on Wilbraham Road about 1966. I think it was called Coopers and later became Fine Fare. I have many happy memories of our 9 years in Chorlton and the lasting friends we made. Nora GlennonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
