View over Hale Barns cricket ground. A few years from now, work is due to start on a rail station, for the HS2 project, to serve passengers for Manchester Airport. The proposed line will run in a tunnel to the east of Hale Barns village and will surface beyond the trees in the photo - the location for the proposed new station. (We have the prospect of cricket lovers from London travelling directly to Hale Barns to see the local team at play!)
