So where am I this time and when?


Now here is challenge with a difference.  

The post card was sent in the August of 1930, and was produced by our old friend Harold Clarke, Photographer, 83 Clarence Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy.

He was responsible for a series of postcards.

The easy task is to name each of the buildings or sites and Mr Clark has made it easier by adding an identifying  letter for each image

The difficult task will be to list them again, this time in chronological order starting with the oldest and ending with the most recent.

I trust no one will cheat by downloading the card and enlarging it to read the titles under each picture that just wouldn’t be very Chorlton.

And those who want the super accolade could also explain the thinking behind the dating answers.

Yes I know it’s that working out type of answer, but you do have all of the weekend.

Of course there will be the clever ones of you who spend Saturday walking the streets of Chorlton looking each one up, and perhaps even taking a modern picture and posting them on the Chorlton History facebook site on the Sunday.

But there will also be a few and I know who you are who will give up after the third wine bar beckons you in along the trail.

Finally apologies to all those who read the blog but live faraway.
