A Walk in Didsbury Village (27) School Lane Junction Buildings
The old fading sign on the side of the tall building shows an old telephone number, the name of the establishment, Spanns, and vestiges of other words which have been either removed or worn away by changes, such as "LEUM" and "BEDDING". I suspect the former was linoleum (an early type of floor covering). The word "HOUSE" seems to be part of a larger word. Housewares? Warehouse? Perhaps an old photograph would answer the question. Lower down, there is a direction sign for the Baptist Church. A plane tree grows outside Costa and there are stainless steel hoops for cyclists to secure their bikes. Last, there is a branch of a bank, the NatWest, a sight which is becoming increasingly more infrequent in many places as digital accounts take (us) over.

A Police presence
This van turned up while I was taking pictures, but I think it was just parked. I don't think anything sinister was afoot.
The van is parked outside a musical intrument shop.

Ghost sign in Didsbury
I can't fathom this out. It looks like two ghost signs overlaid on each other.

The Milson Rhodes, Didsbury
Wetherspoon's pub. Wetherspoon's usually try to name their pubs with a local connection, and this is named after a local doctor in the Victorian era who devoted himself to social reform. The rise to the right crosses a former railway which is being resurrected as a Metrolink line.
