Gib Lane Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Cheshire, England. It covers an area of approximately 50 acres and is situated near the small village of Gibbington. The woodland is part of a larger forested area and is surrounded by rolling hills and fields, providing a tranquil and scenic setting.

The wood is primarily composed of native broadleaf trees, such as oak, beech, and birch, which create a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. The dense canopy of foliage provides shade and shelter for a variety of wildlife, including birds, mammals, and insects. Birdwatchers can often spot species such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, and tawny owls, while the woodland floor is home to small mammals like squirrels and rabbits.

Along the way, there are several designated picnic areas where visitors can take a break and enjoy a meal amidst the beauty of the wood.

The woodland is managed by a local conservation group, which ensures the preservation of its natural features and promotes sustainable practices. They periodically organize educational events and guided tours to raise awareness about the importance of preserving this valuable habitat.

Overall, Gib Lane Wood is a charming and enchanting woodland that offers visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and connect with nature in a serene and idyllic setting.

Former bus garage, Bradnor Road, Manchester By G. Noel Hill, City Architect, 1938-42. A very innovative building. "A huge clear span of 296 by 185ft covers spaces for 100 buses". The concrete exterior employed the Chisarc system. "On completion it was handed over to Messrs. A.V. Roe for building Lancaster bombers." Grade II* listed.
It now sits in the Sharston Industrial Area and appears to be used for something.
