'The Greens', Hale Barns
A less than elegant - if expensive - replacement for 'Winmarith', the villa which stood here from pre-war times until beset by developers. This was the start of a trend which continues to the present day in Hale and Altrincham: the demolition of large, perfectly habitable homes, to make way for even larger but sometimes less elegant replacements. Doric columns (and gold-tipped, wrought-iron gates) have been a favourite appendage amongst local builders - for those that can afford them.

Boundary of Winmarith Drive, Hale Barns
At the junction with Hale Road. The 1910 map of Hale shows a farm track and public footpath here which ran directly across meadows and farmland to Warburton Green (and nearby Tanyard Farm) where there was a small hamlet and shop. The fence in the photo marks its edge and direction. In the 1950s, it was still the side access to a paddock at the back of nearby Prospect House. The construction of Winmarith Drive and adjacent roads completely obliterated this rural sector of Hale Barns.

Corner house - Winmarith Drive
Hale Barns has many such detached homes and some of its residents are among the most wealthy in the South Manchester commuter belt. The M56 is only minutes away and one can drive to the city centre in less than half an hour.

Ring before entering!
Not your average driveway, but gates like these are not uncommon in Hale and Bowdon. These belong to 'Brookdale' on Hale Road.

Ancient Beech Trees
Grounds of Prospect House. This stand of trees has been steadily decimated over the years. Was once a favoured nesting place for rooks.

'Brookdale', Hale Road
Possibly the first domestic property to be erected on Brooks' Drive after 1936 when local planning regulations changed. It replaced an 18th century farmhouse which was pulled down to clear the site - Easter Farm. It has gated entrances on both roads.

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.

Junction of Hale Road with High Elm Road
Behind the trees, on the right, was the site of historic Easter Farm which was summarily demolished in the late 1930s after changes in UDC boundaries opened the way for housing development on adjacent Brooks' Drive. Hale Road - on 19th century, and earlier, maps - was called Easter Lane because it led to the farm from Hale and Altrincham.
