253 Ryebank Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy
253 Ryebank Road is a lovely suburban detached home opposite Longford Park in Greater Manchester, England. The park is located in Stretford in the Trafford borough of Greater Manchester, but Ryeland Road is the district boundary with the City of Manchester, meaning the house is located in the Chorlton-cum-Hardy area of Manchester.

Camouflaged buildings at Turn Moss Playing Fields, Stretford
I assume these buildings formed part of an army camp dating from WWII but I've not been able to find out anything about the site. The buildings are currently used as changing rooms for the surrounding playing fields.

Camouflaged buildings at Turn Moss Playing Fields, Stretford (former Heavy Anti-Aircraft battery)
I assumed these buildings formed part of an army camp dating from WWII but I've not been able to find out anything about the site. The large scale OS map from the mid 1950s shows a cluster of buildings looking very much like a military camp, where before the war there had been only a few isolated cottages. The building in front looks like it might have been an air raid shelter but now houses an electrical sub-station while those behind are changing rooms for the surrounding playing fields. It's been suggested to me that this might have been a filming location for 'Yanks', largely shot in the north of England and what remains might be mock ups of an army camp from dating from the 1970s. I'm not yet convinced, having examined the film closely, but the camouflage paint does looks surprisingly fresh. Does anyone have any further suggestions?
Update - January 2013: Steve Thompson, who maintains and updates the Defence of Britain Google Earth overlay, states that "this was actually a Heavy Anti Aircraft Battery. Designation G/H10. The building in the image is probably not a shelter but an ancillary building to the battery". Thanks for the info Steve.

Buildings at Turn Moss Playing Fields, Stretford
Approximately on the site of Turn Moss Cottages (shown on pre-war maps.) I assume this was an army camp in WWII. The buildings are now used as changing rooms for the surrounding playing fields. The building in the centre of the view was an air raid shelter, now housing an electrical sub-station.

The trees hide changing rooms and a car park, occupying the site and buildings of a wartime army camp (of which I have little information).
