More about this scene

Look up the hill at the turn of the century, and see this posed but superbly evocative photograph of an attractive mixture of domestic building styles, culminating in the spire of Blomfield's Christ Church. Here is the three-storey flat-fronted brick house of the later 18th century, small bungalow shops added to two-storey houses of various dates, and to the left the utility weather-boarding above the barber's shop.

I was born in Wyndale nursing home in Bramhall in 1959.Does anyone what happened to the nursing home? Thanks Nikki Fisher
