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).

Then home for the rest of last night’s chilli and a baked potato and the wine left over from last night, And why not tune to local community radio station ALL FM on 96.9 or online. Their weekly Charity Shops Classics programme showcases tunes that can be found in charity shops. I love the variety and the sounds of some of the far from perfect vinyl that gets played. It’s a novel idea and can unearth some musical gems. It’s also is a great way of reusing old records and cassettes which otherwise would surely be destined for landfill: http://www.mixcloud.com/tag/allfm/ and http://allfm.org/ 
Popping into Aldi on the way back to check out their cheap fruit and vegetables, tortillas and dips, but only coming away this time with a lipstick from the Lacura range- I love the stylish silver casing and if you are lucky they will have the colour you want- I sometimes have to wait months for the colours I prefer, so, as with all bargain hunting, patience is a virtue. Coral is one of several I use, at £1.99.
