Manchester –the City Life

Manchester is a cosmopolitan city and is a symbol of England’s Industrial heritage. The Hard Rock Cafe in Manchester is the largest in the UK and regularly holds concerts – it’s American cusuine is scrumptious!!! Well worth a visit, even if just for the dessert.

The City of Manchester Stadium recently hosted the Take That Tour, Progress Live 2011. This was a complete sell out and attracted many screaming fans to the city of Manchester to see the most exciting reunion in British pop history. Needless to say the night was electric, and the performances from the band as well as Pet Shop Boys and Robbie made for a night to remember.

The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester regularly hosts the Halle Orchastre and Elbow Live at the Bridgewater Hall  on a weekly basis. This is a place where all can escape and enjoy the delightful sounds of many instruments – this is truly a delightful experience and allows you to experience some of the best acoustics in music and is a favorite stop on the circuit for musicians as it’s a great place to jam. The elderly find it comfortable to relax in such a place making Manchester a great place for the elderly to visit. The great news is that for the elderly & disabled you can also get discounted tickets for as little as £10.

Sometimes the elderly who are looking to escape from time to time and those wanting to get outdoors and find an interesting activity for the elderly, requires them to be mobile and free to travel on foot around the city.  For some this has presented a challenge to some elderly ones but just because it’s difficult it doesn’t mean it can’t be done with comfort and ease.

Stockport – The Four Heatons

Stockport has a long history of engineering in the early to mid 1900’s it was of cars, aircraft parts and engines, today the engineering industry still exists but more independent precision engineering companies. A form of engineering which was not available in the early 1900’s was the production of stairlifts. It is estimated that the earliest stairlifts where recorded in America in the 1930’s. Today many people reply on the use of manufactured uk stairlifts to enable them to keep their independence.

Top Flight service the Four Heatons which are four affluent suburbs to the northwest of Stockport, bordering the city of Manchester. They are: Heaton Norris, Heaton Moor, Heaton Mersey and Heaton Chapel. All of the Heatons were originally districts of Heaton Norris, the then ecclesiastical centre of the area and lay within the historic County Boundaries of Lancashire. Originally a rural farming district.

The opening of Heaton Norris railway station in 1840 and Heaton Chapel & Heaton Moor railway station in 1853 changed everything. Heaton Moor became a railway suburb. The farmland was sold, and new wide tree lined streets were developed now some of the desirable residences in Stockport. In neighboring Reddish industry was expanding. The Houldsworth Mill opened in 1860, and Reddish’s population increased from 1360 to 8660 within 40 years.

Today Heaton Mersey and Heaton Moor is commuter belt for well to do professionals working in Manchester, it has a fantastic range of Bars, Cafe’s, Pubs and Restaurants.
A little known fact is that Heaton Norris Rovers, now known as Stockport County Football Club was formed in 1883, and used to play on a pitch behind the Nursery Inn on Green Lane. In 1902 they left the Green Lane ground and moved to Edgeley Park.

Heaton Norris, Heaton Mersey, Heaton Moor and Heaton Chapel are on the north bank of the River Mersey, and south of the Cringle Brook, to the west of Reddish and the River Tame. The former Manchester to Buxton roman road the A6 pass through Heaton Norris, as does the London to Manchester railway. This is carried from Heaton Norris to Edgeley by the massive brick built Stockport Viaduct.

Stockport Viaduct

When the wind is blowing in the right direction you can smell the sweet smell not of ‘Robinsons Brewery’, but of the large biscuit works which was opened in 1918.

In 1835 part of the parish was ceded to Stockport and hence Cheshire, Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor remained in Lancashire, more was transferred in 1894 and the remains transferred in 1913.
