November 2013, some missed out bits

I’m still trying to play catch-up with some draft postings that I’ve been neglecting, so…. 

A wander around Rostherne. And Tatton.

St Mary’s Church, Rostherne

Inside the church hang the colours of the local Parachute Regiment Association. During WW2 the Paras trained in the area – Ringway Aerodrome (now Manchester Airport) was home to No1 Parachute Training School.

The church’s lych gate, dating to 1640 

 

More pics for Alan, these from Tatton:

Gardner diesel engines are still highly regarded – in spite of being out of production for many years.
