Once the property of Ollerbarrow Farm which, in former times, extended all the way to what is now Hale Road. The coming of the railway from Manchester changed everything in the late nineteenth century, and the farm eventually found itself in the heart of a thriving and expanding village. The environs of Hale remained rural well into the twentieth century, and city merchants and businessmen moved home to this salubrious suburb, building substantial villas. For many years, Altrincham and Hale was a centre for market gardening, and at one time there were as many as twentyseven nurseries in the area.
