No cars: a moment's lull on a busy road: a through route to the M56, the Airport and Wilmslow. Where the shops now are, cottages once stood, set back from the road: only the Chapel Hall, at the far end, has remained unchanged. In the 19th century, the section of road from Altrincham to Hale Barns was called Long Lane; from the village to Brooks' Drive was Easter Lane, named for the nearby farm; beyond that, towards Oversley Ford, was Yestow Lane. None of the old names has survived.
