Situated a few miles to the south of Manchester City Centre, the
Four Heatons have always been popular residential suburbs for
families wishing to swap the industrial clamour of the inner city
for fresh air and fine views across open spaces to the Pennines and
the Cheshire Plain. The coming of the railways in the late
nineteenth century provided easy access to the area for commuters
travelling between Manchester and Stockport, resulting in the
building of the imposing period houses, churches, tree-lined roads
and parks that are still a feature of the area today. Each of the
Four Heatons has its unique story to tell. Heaton Chapel's links to
St Thomas' Church, Heaton Mersey's journey from rural hamlet to
Victorian village, Heaton Moor's development as the natural centre
to the area and Heaton Norris' industrial heritage, can all be
traced through the pictures and stories of these postcards. Between
1901 and 1910 the Heatons were involved in the communications
revolution which swept across Britain and were unequalled until the
digital age of the 21st century. The postcards which survive today
tell that story through the work of pioneering photographers and
give us a unique insight into Heatons' life from the early part of
the twentieth century.
