It’s all in the detail ………

Barlow Moor Road.



It’s a lesson in how to adorn an ordinary building.

True the additions may have been mass produced, but they still look good.

Now I can't yet be sure if Mr Edwin Foden was responsible for building the house, but he was a "Chemist and dentist" in occupation from 1891, having been listed on High Lane the year before.

He reamins there until sometime before 1903 when it passed to a Madam Newton Gell, "Milliner" and from 1911 a E.H. Wray, & Co, "Furnture dealers".

Location; Chorlton
