​The Surprising Manchester Series: The Chorlton Tour, Part Two

Saturday 16 June, 3pm

From a hamlet on a road to nowhere to desirable suburb the story of Chorlton-cum-Hardy is a fascinating tale of people, places and events. This tour will explore the characters that inhabited the suburb, the good, the bad and the ugly, explain the physical development of the area (and how the arrival of the railway changed everything), its musical heritage and its distinctive character. All this will be laced with the odd ghost story, some gags, and even a story of complaints about black puddings. This tour looks at the east of the suburb and two wonderful historic houses, Hough End Hall and Barlow Hall.

Meeting point: Chorlton Park, Nell Lane, M21 7UD.
