On Tithebarn Road
The approximate location of the 18th century Tithe Barn, from which both the road and the village (Hale Barns) takes its name. The old structure - which was demolished generations ago - was very substantial (18 yards long and 18 feet wide) - so it could store that portion of produce (one tenth) which local farmers paid to the parish: a practice widespread across Europe at the time.

Site of the original "(Tithe) Barn" in Hale Barns
The existence of the 18th century tithe-barn here lent its name to the village, which was otherwise just an outlying part of Hale itself. The area grew wealthy, in terms of its agricultural produce, such that it was possible to collect 'tithes' (one tenth) of the yield of each farm as a form of tax. The tithes collected were stored in the communal barn on this site - which is now commemorated by the side road of the same name. An electricity sub station has occupied the corner for many decades. The original barn was recorded in a sketch of 1844 showing it to be a very substantial oak-framed building - 87ft x 18ft x 18ft - with a pitched roof and oak, or elm, shingled sides.

Only half a square
The eastern side of The Square in Hale Barns has recently disappeared under bulldozers to make way for a new, luxury supermarket. The scheme was held up by years of dispute and discussion before local and national government granted final approval.

Hale Barns in happier times (1980s)
The Square was once full of busy shops before it became shabby and past its sell-by-date. Now it is under the bulldozer, waiting to be revitalised.

Lone survivor
The Hale Barns fish & chip shop is the only business still operating in this block - much of the remaining precinct having already been knocked down. But not for long: they lost the battle over compulsory purchase terms and will soon quit.

Open Air Art (4)
The old Square, Hale Barns: Altrincham Society of Artists summer exhibition.
(The current O/S map shows this as built-over, but this scene was 30 years ago.)
The former open ground has now been covered by the erection of a large supermarket building housing 'Booth's'.
