More about this scene
A motor car rattles along Ashley Road. In those days the nearest AA recommended hotel was the Unicorn at Altrincham, a fourteen-bed establishment with garaging for two automobiles. The telephone number of the hotel was 1436, which indicates that an extensive telephone network already existed in the town.

A Selection of Memories from Hale
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Hale
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.
