I am somewhere in Chorlton in the summer of 1910 and it’s another
one of those challenges to which there is no prize, save the satisfaction of
showing off your knowledge.
All I ask is that you explain your answer which was what my
old Maths teacher always said.
“It doesn’t matter about the answer show me the working out that took you to an answer which will show you understand the maths.”
Which was fine but didn’t impress the O level examiner who failed me with a grade 9.

Ah well bitterness should not be allowed to stretch out from
the June of 1966.
There are clues but I won’t say what they are.

Andrew,
ReplyDeleteIt must be Hardy Farm because of the hill and Chorlton Brook and the resting horse. I don't recognise the building in the background but it must be some sort of farm structure. I can only assume that they it is a terrace row of labourers houses. Please can I claim my prize?
The view is looking towards the Nell Lane Bridge over the stream and Hough End Hall beyond. The Hall has changed a little since then with the small building at its left having been demolished and the hall itself extended. But the two main chimneys and the window between are unmistakable. Where the horse stands is now Chorlton Park.
ReplyDeleteWell Philip and Michael, thank you for your suggestions. Very impressed at how quick you have been and I like the working out. I can reveal that one of you is spot on, but I will have to leave things a little longer, after all it’s only 7.30. Do you two sleep? All answers will be published tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for Hough End Hall and Chorlton Brook in the foreground. The horse is a mare called Rosie
ReplyDeleteNice one Lawrence
