At the North-West corner are a number of huts selling street food. I had a small box of Chinese food containing salt and pepper chicken, fried rice and noodles with a chicken based sauce and a veg spring roll - all for 7 GBP.

I could not of put it any better myself. Ten years ago there was over 800 staff involved in the running of parks in Manchester. in 2016 there are less than 90 grounds staff covering 120 parks around 8 million square meter of amenity land open to the public. By the next round of cuts the staffing levels will be reduced by 25%. If it wasn't for the people of Manchester working with the Council staff our parks would be wastelands

good town...as i visited once

My family lived in Moston. The clough was my childhood playground 69 yrs ago. On Sundays families in their best clothes walked there together. My Father taught me to how to row a boat on the lake, and then I used to hire a skiff for one shilling an hour.. I must have climbed 100s of trees in those fields and explored all the valleys. I knew all the places where birds nested, and the old roman bridge , near the White Walk. I was told by older people then, that The Clough itself was an ancient glacier path, the valleys emptied into the glacier which in the ice age ran from Grange (Charlestown Rd.) right down the now main path to the area of the refreshment room and beyond, down through Blackley village. The stream which now runs along that same route is all that's let of that history. My parents told me that a huge stone along the main path, which used to be surrounded with crocuses in spring was "a giant's footstool". Probably it was a left over boulder same as the one on a corner of Bluestone rd. nr Lily Lane school. I am glad that people now take such interest in that lovely place, Manchester was late to recognise it , it was neglected for so long.

Neglected park? I pass it every day and by modern, budget constrained standards it looks quite OK, Obviously, if it had its original 3 park keepers rather than part time care from mobile council gangs, things would be different. However, the Manchester a economy is very different from that in more prosperous times gone by and we have to live in the world as it is, not how we wish it might be. A cheap jibe is just that. When negative comment is not accompanied by positive, practical and realistic suggestions of how matters may realistically be improved it's known as whinging. Anyone can whinge, it's a waste of time and breath useful only for identifying the whinger as someone who no positive contribution to make in respect that about which they're whinging. Here are two positive suggestions: if you don't like this park, either help improve it or find another that you do like. Thank you.

Un de mes endroits préférés :)

Now it is Macdonald Townhouse hotel

Hough End allotments is now self-governing. Whilst still owned by the Council, we have formed Society status which means we manage all of our affairs internally. Most of the 13 plots have been sub-divided into quarters meaning more people have become involved in allotment gardening. Anyone wishing to go on the waiting list may contact the Site Manager on houghendallots@aol.com.

Do anyone know something about this area?

It has not been demolished,it is now B+M Bargains, there are some indoor market stalls down one side of the building and outdoor stalls at the front. :)

Northenden fishing club water

The church shown on the Google map is Chorlton Central Church, a good half mile away from Union Church.

It hasn't been demolished, yet. Probably will be next year as the site has been sold for development.
