Really!!!!!!!!! wifes a Health visitor there and she says its the biggest shithole going makes Gorton look like Alderley Edge in comparison.
Dysfunctional families are the norm there, one visit she was going to had the other end of the street cordoned off as some guy had set fire to his(ex)girlfriend or something! definetly a place to avoid.
Still don’t get why people live in Manchester when you can live a 30 minute train journey from Victoria and surrounded by hills and moors. Todmorden for me. Not expensive. Ride from the door. Same goes for Littleborough.
Clover…. ssssssssshhhhhhhh. We don’t want the likes of this riffraff moving out to the nice scenic bits, with the great riding from your door 😉
Is it Middleton that smells of vinegar from the Sarsons factory? Or is that technically Chadderton? It used to make me fancy a chip barm whenever I rode past it anyway.
I have the pleasure riding past the Sarsons factory on my commute. Hated it at first, but now have a strange liking for the smell of cooking malt. It’s at Mills Hill, which is between Chadderton and Middleton. It’s the last station before victoria so people there often don’t manage to get on the train as it’s too full and always look massively pissed off about it. Or maybe that’s because they live in Mills Hill?
Mills Hill’s not bad and Chaddy Park down the road is very pleasant.
Lots of nice pubs out that way too.
As above, Boar’s Head is a great pub, as is the Ringers just up the hill opposite.
Used to drink in Midd all the time in the 80’s and early 90’s, all the really dodgy pubs have gone now along with a couple of little gems.
The Brunswick was often both at the same time.
Great jukebox though.
🙂

Trouble with many Lancashire towns and villages Tod etc, as beautiful as the surrounding areas are, is they spend some winters submerged so you have to be really careful where you buy. Unless you like 10,000 pa insurance premiums if you can get insurance at all!
