More about this scene

Try standing in the middle of the main street nowadays! Here at number 28 we have Joseph Kennerley's drapery and hosiery shop, which also doubled as the post office. The business must have recently changed hands, because in the 1906 directory it was the premises of Charles Riley, and Kennerley's shop was at 112 and 114 Ashley Road. Next door at number 26 is a sub-branch of the Union Bank of Manchester, whilst further along is Ward's greengrocers and Rogers' chemist and druggist store.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Born in Hale in 1941, I have many happy memories of growing up in Hale. Weekly visits to the grocers (Burstons ?) near the railway station. Playing with friends around Bankhall Lane (lived at number 43) and the Bollin Valley. Went to Altrincham Prep. School, then on to Altrincham Grammar. Enjoyed Ware's Ice Cream when I was picking up milk from the bottling section behind the shop. David and Timothy Ware ...see more
I went to a junior fellowship and then senior in St. Peter's rooms by the bowling green. Spent hours watching tennis at the courts in Leigh Rd. Haven't been back for many years, are they still there I wonder. Many happy memories of Hale village.
I was brought up on Broomfield Lane; wonderful memories of Wares Creamery which was a cafe and sold amazing ice cream, where Hale Grill is now. We used to play with dentist, Mr McKnight's daughter Amanda; they had a tortoise who lived in the garden...so exotic! Hours spent in the library and the reliable 'bobby' in the police station on the corner of Leigh Road. Such a lovely place to grow which we took so much for granted.
Mr McKnight my old dentist. Durigs much missed.
