Digging deep
A swathe of old, industrial Broadheath falls victim to the developers, although in a good cause - that of much needed housing.

New House, Broadheath
An example of the attractive smaller properties being developed on parts of this former industrial estate outside Altrincham. In earlier times, Broadheath was an important industrial hub with leading machine tool and instrument makers who helped significantly in England's war effort and were consequently targeted by German bombers in the 1940s. The King and Queen made a Royal visit here shortly after the War in recognition of their contribution.

Broadheath development: perhaps not Topsy's home but it certainly grew and grew.

Linotype and Machinery building
Recent demolition work has opened up this view of the impressive L&M building. Shame about the clutter in the foreground, but without the building work, we wouldn't have the view. I don't know what is going to be built here but the chances are the view will disappear again as the redevelopment progresses.
Linotype made typesetting machines that were used by printers all over the world, until the electronic revolution swept them away. They made printing presses too. This shot shows the offices, the works are behind. The buildings now house an assortment of businesses.
