More about this scene

An old village on the Cheshire side of the Manchester Ship Canal, Flixton was developed as a residential suburb of Manchester. Two interesting residents in the local churchyard are John and Hannah Booth. John was the village fiddler, and he and his wife died within hours of one another on the same day in 1778.

This picture shows the Post Office - the nearest of the row of shops. Note the old-fashioned police telephone just outside the Post Office. The next shop is the barbers where I used to get the haircut! The son of this barber had a barber shop close to the junction of Moorside Road and Woodsend Road (other picture in this sequence). The picture is taken from the start of the bridge over railway - the station is just behind the photographer to the right.
