Winter arrives in Hale Barns
An unusual sight after 10 years of mild winters. Many young children may never before have been able to build a snowman.

Public footpath - no cycling
Joins Ravenwood Drive to Winmarith Drive but is just part of an old right-of-way used by people walking from Brooks Drive, or Hale Road, to Chapel Lane, across intervening farmland. There were still crops of oats and barley here in the 1950s and considerable excitement amongst local children when the big combine harvesters were at work. Expansion of housing estates around Hale Barns, and the growth of Ringway airport, saw the end of large scale farming in the vicinity.

Enclosed footpath from Winmarith Drive
It seems unlikely that the current residents here realise that this path is all that remains of the right-of-way, across open farmland, from Hale Road to Warburton Green. The 1950s building boom in Hale Barns obliterated most of the meadows, copses and fields that surrounded it before the War. There is a (1954) watercolour sketch of the meadow - belonging to Prospect House - which once bordered the brown fence (formerly iron railings) to the right of the photo. Just beyond these railings was a stand of massive beech trees, with a rookery. The meadow was ankle deep in daisies, buttercups, clover and rough grass. Several ponies grazed there, and the nearby pond attracted dragonflies in the summer months. What a change!

Ravenwood Drive, Hale Barns
Farmland in the 1950s but now part of an extensive estate. A November day but as warm and sunny as early September!

The morning after the night before - Hale Barns, Cheshire
No one expected to awake to this. The garden table registered six inches of virgin snow overnight.
