Winmarith Drive, Hale Barns
Approaching the junction with Hale Road. The drive takes its name from a large, pre-war villa which stood in grounds to the right of the photograph. 'Winmarith' is shown on the 1940 local, large-scale plan but, in the following decades, was demolished to make way for the present incumbent - a block of luxury apartments called "The Greens" - which was not an improvement, aesthetically, over its predecessor.

Where's the recession?
Unlike many parts of the North West, Hale Barns shows few signs that times are hard. Here, on Hale Road - in a 200 yard stretch - four different houses have builder's vehicles outside: two are being refurbished and two are being fully reconstructed. The southern side has become a parking lot during the day, causing continued traffic disruption on Hale Road.

Houses on Hale Road, Hale Barns
The white building is the former farmhouse of Elm Farm which was still a working farm into the 1960s, although much reduced: farmland having been consumed in the construction of adjacent Ringway Golf Course, from 1909. In fact, the club had started by renting land from another adjacent farm - Oaklands - whose farmhouse eventually became the old clubhouse (which later burned down). Elm Farm probably gave its name to nearby Elmridge Drive, developed after the War. (Ringway is the neighbouring parish to Hale Barns and was, in a sense, isolated from it by the construction of the M56 motorway. Until it became 'International', Manchester Airport was called 'Ringway'.)
