Sunbank Lane, Hale Barns
Not long ago, a rural backwater to the south east of Hale Barns village, but now overtaken by the ever-burgeoning spread of Manchester International Airport.
At its eastern end, it used to intersect the Wilmslow Road at the neighbouring parish of Ringway - the hamlet which gave its name to the original airport.
To the south-east of the road is Sunbank Wood - a once-quiet nature reserve - bordering the valley of the River Bollin.

More than a garden pool!
This is a giant 'balancing pond', on Sunbank Lane: an artificial basin into which water drains from a building project. So constructed as to ensure that local watercourses are not overloaded during heavy rainfall, thereby preventing flooding of the site. Installed, in this case, at the new World Logistics Hub, near Manchester Airport.

Drought?
Empty 'balancing pond': would normally fill with run-off from the surrounding construction site to form a water buffer and avoid the drainage system being overwhelmed at times of heavy rainfall: no such problem at present when there has been no significant precipitation for weeks on end.

Modern office development
Adjacent to Manchester International Airport. Not many years ago, this was unspoiled farmland, with a nature reserve nearby, and a popular area for local walkers and cyclists. The ever-growing tentacles of Airport development have steadily eroded rural Ringway with office blocks, logistics companies and overflow car parks.

Sunbank Lane
Before the growth of Manchester International Airport and the M56, this was a fairly remote and quiet place: it will get even less so if plans, to develop nearby Oak Farm as another freight terminal for the airport, go ahead.
