Skywatch Friday: Rainbow over Golf Road


Golf Road in Altrincham consists mostly of this short row of terraced houses, built in the late 19th century or possibly the first decade of the 20th century. These two bedroomed houses would originally have had an outside toilet but now have a small bathroom upstairs. One of the houses is currently up for sale at around £190,000.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Today £190,000 equals Australian $286,000, 230,000 Euros,  Canadian $301,000 or US$293,000.
It’s very hard for first time buyers but roughly speaking,  £190,000 would buy you a smallish 2 bedroom house in a desirable area of Manchester and the suburb, or a good apartment in the city centre. £250,000 would get you a 3 bedroom house in a nice area, but price raise rapidly. £120000 is probably the cheapest you could buy a small house or small flat in a half decent area (e.g. Hulme  or city centre).

  2. Great shot Chrissy. Is that a good price for a small house? I was trying to figure out how much that would be in Aussie dollars!

  4. What a sunset and fantastic light! That seems like a lot of money for these places ... but then our prices are very depressed.
