Warehouse and shop, Oak Cottages, Styal

The shop is just a shop-front now, with a house behind. The same probably applies to the warehouse; perhaps the door leads to a garage now.

The Apprentices House, Styal

The apprentices were children who worked long hours in the mill for board and lodging but no pay. They did receive basic education and medical care, and were presumably offered employment at the end of their apprentice years. The house was built in 1790. The apprentice system was phased out between 1841 and 1847. See also the Wikipedia article.

Farm Fold Cottages, Styal

These were converted from farm buildings to mill workers' cottages in the late 18C. The building to the right was converted from a seed store to a Methodist chapel.

Manchester Airport

Manchester Airport lies approximately 8½ miles to the south west of Manchester city centre. It is the largest, and busiest, airport in the UK outside the London area. The airport comprises three terminals and a goods terminal and provides flights to over 200 destinations. It is the only British airport other than London Heathrow to operate two runways over 3,000 m (9,843 ft) in length. The airport officially opened (as Ringway Airport) in 1938. During the war, it was called RAF Ringway and, between 1975 and 1986, Manchester International Airport. It is owned and managed by the Manchester Airports Group (MAG) which is a holding company owned by the ten metropolitan borough councils of Greater Manchester. The airport has good transport links and is served by the M56 motorway and by Manchester Airport railway station which provides extensive rail connections. The Metrolink tramway extension opened in November 2014, providing a tram link between the airport and the city centre.

Drop and Go car park

A facility so modern that it is difficult to locate the scene, though the camera position on the T3 Multi-storey car park is well understood. A day of wind and squalls with hail and snow, but good lighting for dramatic cubism!
