Welcombe Walk

Welcombe Walk Whitefield Manchester M45 7FA

Not lost, just looking elsewhere, whilst walking between tram stops.

Charged with mapping the Modernism at each of the stops twixt Victoria and Bury.

I unavoidably took the wrong turn, it’s so easily done. Fortuitously I took a turn off Bury New Road and found myself on Welcombe Walk.

Welcombe Walk is made up of nineteen one/two-bedroom flats, built in 1978 and run by Six Town Housing.

Whilst not seeking sheltered housing for my good self, I am always intrigued by small developments of interesting social housing, grouped around pedestrian walk ways and green space.

The residents with whom I chatted seems content with their homes and the management thereof.

I bade them adieu and went about my way, taking these few snaps.
