East Didsbury was another 1900s expansion but bigger semi detached & detached houses.

 

 

I would imagine that East Didsbury (the housing) developed as a result of the opening of East Didsbury station on the Styal line (as well as the opening of the trams to Parr's Wood - now Tesco).

I spent most of my student apprenticeship at a factory in Burnage and both sidesmen at my first wedding lived there!

 

Burnage and East Didsbury were on the LNW Piccadilly - Styal line, whilst Didsbury and West Didsbury and Withington were on the line to Central.

 

I left my tonsils in Withington hospital.

 

As did my father! (Back in those days it was assumed that any body part for which the medical profession had yet to discover a purpose was a 'vestigial' organ left over from evolutionary ancestors so tonsils were often removed at the slightest sign of infection as they were believed to serve no purpose, whereas now they are known to be a part of the immune system).
