Staff South Car-park The burgeoning of Manchester International Airport has necessitated a massive expansion of facilities for staff working there.

The changes over ten years are evident from an earlier photo showing the view towards this area: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2325471">SJ8084 : Junction of Sunbank Lane and Wilmslow Road, Ringway</a>.

Hanging on Hard to tell whether this cottage - in the shadow of Manchester Airport - is due for restoration or demolition: it has been this way for years. Were it sited elsewhere in Ringway or Hale Barns it would be snapped up for desirable housing.
