Barrack Hill

The "slaughter house " was part of Partington's farm just across the road from where I lived. Often watched the cattle being put to the gun, though only young think we weren't as squimish in those days. For life of me can't remember the name ( Bredbury Botanical Club ? ) of the club round the corner. it was on the other entrance to the farm. Yes it was, got brain in gear. Partingtons also had two butchers shops. One on lower Bents Lane and the other on Higher Bents Lane. When I grew up there, it was nothing but fields all the way to Vernon Park.
