More about this scene

Carriages await the call to duty in the old Market Place; it was here that B Goodall & Co, bus and carriage proprietors, had their office, though we do not know if the vehicles seen here all belonged to them. Though most people would have taken the train to Manchester, a Goodall carriage hired to take 3-4 persons would have cost about 9s for the trip. If required to wait and then bring the clients back to Altrincham, it would be charged out by the hour.

I remember walking past the tea bar on my way from George Street to the bus station to catch either the 71 or the 80 to Stockport Road/Hare and Hounds, Timperley. I did this every day whilst being a pupil at North Cestrian Grammar School
I have lived all my life in Altricham and I am thinking that these houses were opposite the library in Altrincham, that used to be next to the Stamford Hall. I can't remember the name of the road but these cottages had slate roofs in the 1960's when I saw them as a child.
