EPW017450 ENGLAND (1927). Poundswick and Brownley Green, Manchester, from the west, 1927

"The Willows" market garden. "The Willows" house was just off picture and stood on the E side of Poundswick Lane. Glasshouses can just be seen as well as land surrounding house, which was used to grow cut flowers etc. The Willows Cottage stood next to the main house. The house was occupied by the Webb family from c.1929, and through the 1930's. I believe the cottage was occupied by the Manston family at this time. Emmie Webb and her two daughters Marjorie and Beryl are recorded as living at The Willows on the 1939 register. Norman, Emmie's husband, who ran the market garden, died in 1938 from anthrax poisoning after using infected bonemeal.

The Cedars: once the country home of Peers Groves, of the Groves & Whitnall brewery in Salford, and his family. After their day, and as the area was built up, it was for many years used as a local community centre. The house was finally demolished in more recent years, and now the offices of the Willow Park Housing Association stand on the site.
