{"product_id":"chorlton-cum-hardy-through-time-9781445647685","title":"Chorlton-Cum-Hardy Through Time","description":"Chorlton is derived from Old English and probably means Ceolfrith's Farm or settlement. Hardy is probably from the name Hearda or the Anglo-Saxon for 'island' or 'dry ground in a well-watered land'; it may also mean 'by the woods' as the ancient forest of Arden Wood grew either side of the River Mersey. Despite there being no record of Chorlton-cum-Hardy as a settlement name before 1700, there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement here from the ninth century.In 1904 Chorlton-cum-Hardy was incorporated into the City of Manchester. The district borders onto Stretford, Sale, Didsbury, Withington and Whalley Range, with the River Mersey forming part of its southern boundary. As a result, Chorlton-cum-Hardy has a rich and historically diverse heritage. Through a selection of old and new photographs Chorlton-cum-Hardy Through Timetraces the area's development over the last century, and is essential reading for anybody who knows and loves this historic suburb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445647685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Steven Dickens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53023381979317,"sku":"9781445647685","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781445647685.jpg?v=1787666270","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/chorlton-cum-hardy-through-time-9781445647685","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
