Bridge across Chorlton Brook at the rear of Chorlton High School
The rear of the school site is bordered by the brook, with land on the opposite bank being used as playing fields. When Chorlton High School was amalgamated onto a single site a few years earlier, new buildings were erected with a bridge to link to the playing fields, avoiding the need to leave the site and cross the brook at Hough End Bridge on Nell Lane. A public footpath runs beneath the bridge.

Chorlton High School from Nell Lane
Having attended Chorlton Grammar School in Sandy Lane in the 1950s, I took the opportunity to find it again. The original site was occupied by a Pentecostal Church
Image, and the school had relocated to the other side of Chorlton Park.

St Werburgh's Road, Chorlton
Looking towards the railway bridge. The double yellow lines here were added around the time the nearby Metrolink stop was opened in July 2011.
The Mercedes van with its wheels up on the footway was probably making a delivery to a nearby house.

The Mercedes van with its wheels up on the footway was probably making a delivery to a nearby house.
The buildings on the right are the former farmhouse and a barn at Park Brow Farm, converted to dwellings in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
