  • A History of Feeding Manchester
    A History of Feeding Manchester. A chronological history of how Manchester has been fed through the ages. Introduction Manchester – the cradle of industrialization and the modern city. It was a revolution built on social and technological advances brought about by the end of feudalism which set us on a path, divorced from the ‘primitive’ countryside and disconnected from the natural world, to an urban civility. The comforts we enjoy today are built on the enterprise and exploitation of the agricultural revolution, colonialism, international trade and slavery, and ultimately the industrial revolution with the resulting urbanization of our country. Few could predict that in just seventy years Britain would go from a kingdom of ‘peasants’ and cottage industries to an economy where the majority lived in town and cities, dependant on the new merchant and bureaucratic classes for our employment, housing, cloths and food. By looking at how a changing Manchester was fed we can see our changing relationship with the countryside. How the urban has come to dominate the rural to make the most of market opportunities. Resulting in a detachment from and disregard for the pastoral, and a reverence for the metropolis. A History of Feeding Manchester by The Kindling Trust. www.kindling.org.uk Pre-1771 The journey begins in the late eighteenth century, the border of Lancashire and Cheshire. Farmsteads, hamlets and towns whose names allude to a lost countryside. Places like Blackley, meaning "a dark wood or clearing", Reddish derived from "reed or reedy ditch", Rusholme and Moss Side indicating marshland; Newton Heath and Barlow Moor revealing great heaths of old.

  • Area 15 Didsbury
    AREA 15 - DIDSBURY AREA POLICIES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT AND PROTECTION DB2 Existing woodland areas at Heyscroft, Palatine Road and the Nazarene College, Dene Road will be protected and their improvement sought in conjunction with the owners. Reason: These areas of woodland form a visually important and attractive feature on the fringe of the Mersey Valley and are now protected by a Tree Preservation Order. This policy will complement protection given to adjoining woodland by policy DB25. DB3 The informal open space between Palatine Road and the River Mersey immediately north of Northenden Bridge is allocated for environmental improvement. Reason: This area constitutes an important landscape feature immediately adjoining the River Mersey and its improvement and management would lead to a significant upgrading of this part of the Mersey Valley. TRANSPORT DB7 The Council will implement traffic management measures in order to reduce on-street parking problems in the following residential streets around Didsbury Village:- a) Albert Hill Street; b) Old Oak Street; c) Elm Grove; d) Grange Lane; e) Whitechapel Street; f) Grove Lane; g) Crossway. The Council will also consider similar measures for roads around Manchester Metropolitan University's Didsbury Campus. Reason: To alleviate the pressure far parking on residential side streets. These side streets in Didsbury are currently suffering from severe congestion mainly caused by parked cars. Residents have to compete with shoppers and people working in the village. In the areas around the MMU site, congestion is evident and the Council will, in liaison with the MMU, consider proposals to reduce this problem. DB9 The Council will improve the safety of pedestrians and cyclists at the following major road junctions:- a) Barlow Moor Road/Princess Road; b) Parrswood Lane/Wilmslow Road/Kingsway.
