Where are the pumps?
Recently, Hale Barns Garage has lost all its petrol pumping equipment and must come as an unwelcome shock to passing motorists who are used to filling up there. The next nearest fuel would be Altrincham or Morley Green.

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.

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.
