Ingersley Road with Brookfield View

This is a very mixed street with stone cottages and pubs at either end, a couple of large 19thC town houses, several stout 1930s semi-detached brick houses in the middle, plus one 1960s brick bungalow and one modern but very fitting stone cottage built into a very tight corner.

A new development has been completed in late 2009, known as Brookfield View (below left), which is five 2.5 story three bedroomed terraced units in natural stone having fine views across the meadow into trees on the far side of the valley.

Approach off the roundabout junction of Shrigley Road, Palmerston Street and Church Street.

Leads to Willow Bank Drive and Foxglove Close, Brookfield View, Mill Lane, Smithy Brow, Blaze Hill, Spuley Lane and Oakenbank Lane.

Nearest shops - Palmerston Street

Nearest pubs - Poachers Inn, Cotton Tree and New Con Club in the street; Church House round the corner in Church Street. Viceroy Indian restaurant in the street.

Ingersley Hall

More usually known today as Savio House, this name having been provided by the Catholic Order that presently occupies the property.

Ingersley was the country home and estate of the Gaskell family. It was built by John Gaskell, a successful Manchester businessman, about 1775, before any of the major mills in the town.

A video from James Hough. It starts by looking up Shrigley Road and pans round to Ingersley Road, then to Church Street, finishing at Palmerston Street.
