This pub, situated on the corner of Broom Lane and Stockport Road, in Levenshulme, used to be the Wheatsheaf, which closed in 2007. In 2009, it re-opened as "The Golden Prague/Club Morova" a Czech restaurant/pub. http://www.levyboy.com/around_town.htm has several photos from a similar viewpoint to the one above, taken at various times from the early 1900s onwards.

This National Cycle Network Milepost of the Fossil Tree design alongside the Fallowfield Loop Image is 2 miles from Debdale and 3 miles from Chorlton.

"The revolution will be fertilized!" it says on one box alongside the Fallowfield Loop.

Highfield Country Park is situated to the east of Levenshulme. It is a 70 acre area of open land that stretches to the east of Broom Avenue across to the back of Houldsworth Golf Course and over to the junction of Longford Road and Nelstrop Road. The land was used to extract clay for the manufacture of bricks for the building industry. The clay pit and brick works existed until the 1950s when it was being operated by the Jackson Brick Company. Other businesses that have occupied the site included the UCP tripe factory, Levenshulme Dye and Bleach works, and, originally, High Field Farm. In the 1970s, by which time it was little more than a landfill site, the area was designated as a country park by Manchester City Council. During the period 2004-5 the park was transformed from a dreary, vandalised wasteland into a country park with a picnic area and mapped out country walks. (http://www2.btcv.org.uk/manchester.pdf "Case Study: Highfield Country Park, Manchester" (PDF). BTCV Grass Roots) In November 2007, Highfield Country Park was declared a protected habitat for many animal and plant species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highfield_Country_Park Wikipedia
