Woodford, Greater Manchester history
In 1248, the manor of Woodford was one of several in the Barony of Stockport. Land was cleared and improved for agriculture in the late 13th century and a cornmill existed by 1296. The Davenports are known to have extended the old hall at least once, and built the New Hall in the early 17th century.
Dean Water Mill
The River Dean marks the post-1974 county boundary between Cheshire and Greater Manchester. It was at the crossing that James Andrew built the Dean Water calico printing mill in 1837. The mill closed in 1848 and was bought and resold to the Davenports on the conditions that it was demolished. Christ Church was built in 1841 but not consecrated until July 1872.
Woodford Aerodrome
Woodford Aerodrome was a factory and large airfield south of the village. The airfield was created from farmland by Avro during late 1924 following their eviction from Alexandra Park in Manchester. The major project during the mid-1930s to early wartime was the building of many thousands of twin-engined Avro Ansons for use as patrol aircraft, trainers and light transports. The early part of the war saw a production run of 200 Avro Manchester bombers.
