Shops on Wilmslow Road
A group of three (end of a row of four) shops between Parrs Wood Road and Parrs Wood Avenue. On the left is the Good Fortune Chinese restaurant. On the right below the Didsbury Holistic Centre is a computer shop. When the google-car took images for Streetview (2008/09) it appears the end shop was vacant and the computer shop was in the middle. Now it has moved next door the middle premises are now the offices of Didsbury Family Law solicitors.

The Lodge, The Towers, Didsbury
The Towers was the home of Daniel Adamson, the Victorian engineer who was a leading promoter and backer of the campaign to build the Manchester Ship Canal. The blue plaque commemorates the inaugral meeting of that campaign, held here on 27th June 1882.

Shops at East Didsbury
On the right is Alfie's Head Shop. Previously it had been Alexanders of Didsbury and before that Pearson's Barber Shop.
Next is the Didsbury Grill which is offering free delivery. The covered signage reads "Dishbury Indian". The postbox outside attests to the fact this was originally a Post Office. The Post Office closed around 2008. It later became a halal restaurant called Shaad.
To the left is The Dentists of Didsbury. Before 2017 the premises were a laundry.
The shuttered property at the end has previously operated as a cafe.
