From a hamlet on a road to nowhere to one of Manchester’s most desirable suburbs.
The story of Chorlton-cum-Hardy is a fascinating one, packed with surprising events and larger-than-life characters.
Join Jonathan Schofield Tours in this South Manchester suburb, where you’ll hear about the good, the bad and the ugly characters that once inhabited it. Starting at the historic Hough End Hall, you’ll thread your way through Chorlton, learning about its physical development, its musical heritage and its distinctive character – with a few ghost stories and gags thrown in for good measure.
