Lawton Moor. This first, pre-war, phase of housing development took its name from this farmstead and was in use until the 1950s. After the post-war development west of Button Lane was complete, the name "Northen Moor" (from a very long-standing contraction of "Northenden Moor; "Moor End" at the west end of Northenden village marks the original boundary of the "moor") came to be more generally used. As memory of its original meaning was lost, the spelling was regularized to the more familiar "Northern Moor". Report as Inappropriate	John Ellis	Sunday 5th of January 2014 11:26:53 AM

Boundary House - named because it stood just on the Sale side of the historic boundary between Northenden parish and township and the Sale township of Ashton-upon Mersey parish. The line of the boundary (which as pictured here, before housing development occurred, simply followed an ancient field hedge) was for years left as open space when the rest of the area was built up; originally to allow for a ring road, but it is now being used for the Metrolink tram line between Manchester and the airport which is currently (January 2014) under construction.

While Manchester City Council developed only one new housing site in Baguley prior to the second world war, there was considerably more development in neighbouring Northenden and Northen Etchells townships. This shot shows housing under construction at Northen Moor, to the west of Northenden village, at the same time as the houses on the Royal Oak estate in Baguley were being built half a mile or so to the south on the other side of Wythenshawe Park.

To the north-west and at the top of the picture new housing development in Sale Moor can be seen. Almost all of the open country shown on this picture and the previous one had been built over by 1960.
