Overgrown Brooks Drive
A former tree lined carriage drive for commuters connecting Hale Barns with Brooklands railway station. This part has become overgrown since just ahead a metal security fence blocks the drive. There is also security fencing down the sides. Hopefully the blockage can be removed as Trafford Council have notices displayed about their intention to modify the definitive map to make Brooks Drive a restricted byway.

Davenport Green, Brooks Drive
Originally built by landowner Samuel Brooks in the 1860s, as a drive from Brooklands Station (built for him) South to his residence, Prospect House. Parts of the drive are now busy public road, footpath, lane or, as here, private road. Most of the houses on this section have iron railings and entryphones. Note the bank of white ramsons on the right.

Impasse!
The progress of Brooks Drive towards Davenport Green has been rudely interrupted by this unbreachable steel barrier. It had been a popular route for walkers and cyclists over many decades and is thought to have been a public right-of-way originating in the 19th century.
Objections were raised by local residents, in 2019, with the Trafford Highways Authority but, to date, no action has been forthcoming.

Winter on Brook's Drive, Davenport Green
This road becomes a bridle path here and then a road again. A good route for cyclists from Hale Barns to Manchester Airport. Named after the wealthy Victorian banker and philanthropist who had a mansion in Hale Barns and created this coach drive to connect with his other estates in Brooklands and Whalley Range.
