The village round there was named Heyhead where woodhouse lane that stretched from the original ringway road all the way through woodhouse park. I knew a few people who lived in those cottages and on the farms. Behind the old church that was once there with a graveyard, on this farm was an underground tomb but is now covered with a car park. The graveyard is also covered with a carpark and a war memorial is in it's place which is to honour those buried there. There was also a corner shop named "odd bottle" or "fullalove's" as we called it, at the junction of woodhouse lane and ringway road, along with rows of houses and many farms. I played in most of the abandoned farms as a kid in the 70's and 80's and lived in one of the cottages that were compulsory purchased are now all gone. Pretty sad that most of that area is now car parks and concrete for cheap holidays in spain.

That's correct but you're referring to the old Church and Sunday school in the Hamlet/village of Heyhead, Woodhouse Lane to Ringway Road near the Airport Pub. I too remember all of them Cottages, farms and fullaloves corner shop. As a kid my Nanna used to send us to the farm on a Sunday morning to get veg for the dinner. How times have changed and ruined by the Airport. However this guy in the video is walking down near the Romper Pub on Wilmslow Old Road in the hamlet/parish of Ringway (on the other side of the Airport near the cargo centre) The Farm in the video is Cloughbank Farm which is over 700 years old it was my Mum's best friend's house when they were younger. It's an absolute disgrace what the Airport have done to such lovely listed buildings. Then again it doesn't surprise me in the slightest, it's like when the Airport were trying to buy a 400 year old cottage called The Old Thatch on Ringway Road behind Fullaloves so they could expand a car park. English Heritage refused to sell it and strangely enough it got set on fire, deemed too dangerous to repair so it was bulldozed all for about six car parking spaces!

@@bazah3422 Yes, I stand corrected and I know the places that you talk about very well. There are still a few cottages left around moss lane, used mainly by airport workers. I spent many a year picking tomatoes on frank matthews farm, sadly now also a car park.

@@TonyTone196 Yeah, I know but the end of that road near the Romper, used to run all the way up runger lane before the bypass was introduced.

My guess is those buildings have been bought up by the airport for future expansion or more carparks. My mother remembers when the airport was mostly fields and you could walk up to the planes. I remember when for 2p you could go through a turnstile and on to the airport roof, they called it the Spectator Terrace.

@@vickiegottfreund5505I always looked forward to a Sunday day out on those terraces. Many people don't know the hidden history of all those old farms. Demolition workers found a very expensive oil painting hiden in one of them. After the war alot of the spitfire propellers were used as fencing posts around the farms. You can still find in the undergrowth if you search for them.

Yeah, I remember those thatched cottages. There was one on ringway road that was feet away facing the runway. Do you remember the "odd bottle" or "fullalove's" shop on woodhouse lane next to them ?

As a kids in the 1950s, we would ride our bikes, going passed this pub, it was called the Romper inn, there was a huge grinding stone outside the front of the pub, which you could still turn.There was also a brick works, it had a tall chimney.

I find this sort of thing fascinating and enjoy doing this kinda thing myself. Thanks for sharing your passion, Steve! :-)

I knew that area from the late '50s/early '60s. The modest airport with its DC-3s, its Viscounts, Herons and Fokker Friendships, was surrounded by farmland and narrow lanes, all to be wiped out by the monster growth of the airport. I doubt that anyone would want to live near the place now, given the noise, the traffic and the mess.

Looks like a sign under TORY times!!

Thank you. Enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work

I found it interesting, I'm fairly local to the area and must have passed it a thousand times thanks for posting.

If i remember correctly, Cloughbank Farm has been previously used for airport construction traffic/storage with it being gated off as such.

Interesting to see places that seem to have been abandoned fairly recently, going by how new those bins look. Maybe worth getting a selfie stick for getting higher/further viewpoints in future?

Thank you very much.Intersting.When a lot of people cannot fond anywhere to live!

The house next to the road were still occupied in 2016.

Please don't call yourself an idiot. It will stick.

Hi steve thanks i always wondered what had happened to those houses and farm

Lovely stuff!

Hardly a town. Ringway was a village at best, some people might even call it a hamlet. Stockport is a town, Bolton is a town, Macclesfield is a town, but certainly not Ringway!

watching your video from dublin ireland loved the church hope its still in use

Ohh dude, if you're doing abandoned buildings I may have an idea. I'll see if I can throw a video together for you

Once we finally got inside the house, it looked rather modern on the inside littered with kids toys from the early 2000s. Kind of freaked us out on the top floor where some dolls was just placed stood upright. Never the less, it was a very enjoyable explore.
