Re: st thomases infants school heath rd

A long time resident who lives very close to the school in question told me on sunday 30th that it is being knocked down in 6 weeks and some houses are going up. Ime not doubting the person but has anybody else heard this ?

Re: st thomases infants school heath rd

Why do you say that I've lived in the Ashton area over 70 years and more than likely the house you now live in was built on green belt land, this is reclaimed land for about 7/8 houses, ? how many were built where you live
