we are pleased with what’s been included.

as a story to be read in front of the fire, or as a series of walks,
taking the intrepid seeker to all things quirky across Chorlton,
from east to west and back again.1

the geography of where we live, which was bounded by the
River Mersey and the flood plain to the south and the
neighbouring townships on the other three sides.
