@onewing Thank you for your comments Babs suspect your right maybe a few more houses and the 400,000 volt electricity line on the horizon was constructed in the 1960's:)
Looks like a lovely area. I have never been to Mottram, but over the years I have done a lot of family history research and my Hibbert ancestors came from Cheshire - mainly Prestbury and later Chester, but some from Mottram in Longendale
