Do you have any information about the Brooklands area on Bury Old Road, next to the Woodthorpe Hotel. It is land which has never been built on, which seems strange. Someone once told me it was some sort of Religious area.

Hi, I’m looking for a mansion called Woodlands, some 3 miles north of Manchester. In 1851 it belonged to Mr. Henry M. P. (probably Henry Edwards, 1st Baronet). I reckon it was somewhere around Woodlands Road now.
