The end house across the lodge is Hillside - where my grandparents (and parents for a short time) lived

The ridge in the distance is Stronsey Bank. This photo was taken from the embankment of No 6 lodge

Flight paths for Manchester were changed today as this low flying plane flew above Hollin Lane
