Barlow Moor
Barlow Moor

Barlow Moor is an area of Manchester, England. It was originally an area of moorland between Didsbury and Chorlton-cum-Hardy and was named after the Barlow family of Barlow Hall. Barlow Moor Road runs through the area and connects to Wilmslow Road at the southern end and Manchester Road at the northern end. Southern Cemetery and Chorlton Park are landmarks on the route. Immediately adjacent to the northwest corner of the cemetery, also on Barlow Moor Road, is the Manchester Crematorium which opened in 1892, the second in the United Kingdom. The architects were Steinthal and Solomons who chose to revive the Lombard-Romanesque style. Another notable building is the Chorlton Park Apartments, 2002. During the English Civil War, Prince Rupert camped on Barlow Moor, halfway between two strategic crossing points of the River Mersey. Prince Charles Edward Stuart, 'Bonnie Prince Charlie', camped here on his way to, and retreat from, Derby in the Rebellion of 1745.The area has been largely in Chorlton Park ward of the City of Manchester since 1998; previously there was a Barlow Moor ward. John Leech former MP for Manchester Withington has been a City councillor for both these wards; he was succeeded as councillor for Chorlton Park by Bernie Ryan. The Roman Catholic church of St Ambrose, Princess Road, was built in 1958 to the designs of architects Reynolds & Stone. The dedication to St Ambrose of Milan was chosen because St Ambrose Barlow's birthplace was in the parish. The church of St Barnabas (opened 1951) in Hurstville Road is an Anglican chapel-of-ease dependent on St Clement's Church and serves the Barlow Moor estate and south Chorlton.

Manley Hall, Manchester

Manley Hall was a large house in Whalley Range, Manchester. It was a two-storey Victorian Italianate building with fifty rooms, very grandly furnished and with a fine art collection. It stood in 80 acres (32 ha) of exotic gardens with artificial lakes and many greenhouses in which orchids were grown. The house was built for the wealthy businessman Samuel Mendel and was completed in 1857. Mendel occupied the house from 1858. Born in Liverpool of Jewish origin he was the so-called "Merchant Prince" of Manchester's textile industry, who made a fortune by providing the fastest export routes round the Cape of Good Hope to India and Australia. At the height of his commercial success he converted from Judaism to High Church Anglicanism, and became a significant local figure as trustee of St Clement's Church, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, despite Manley Hall being outside the Parish boundary. When the Suez Canal opened in 1869 he lost his commercial advantage and in 1875 was forced to sell Manley Hall and its contents. The contents of the house were sold in an auction that lasted five days. A second sale was held on 9 July 1879 by order of the Court of Chancery for the County Palatine and was bought by Mendell for £85,000. In 1879 a company formed to buy the estate and turn the gardens into a public pleasure park which failed after two years. Its most famous visitor was "Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show". The grounds were then progressively sold for housing and the hall itself finally demolished in 1905. Manley Park playing fields is the only part of the original grounds which has not been built over.
