To add a bit of depth to my idea it was suggested i research into the history of Dunham and find out about the remaning land marks of earlier Dunham and Dunham Massey.
Inside Dunham Massey National Trust park there is the original mill which you can still go inside, from research i have found that:
'The mill at Dunham was first documented in 1353, although the mill's present structure dates to the 1860s.'
This shows that the mill is very old indeed and must have a huge history inside those four walls.
Dunham Massey is also home to a herd of deer and it seems from research this has been going on since the 1300's!
'The first record of Dunham's deer park was also in 1353'
Dunham Massey Hall is a well known landmark within Manchester and one of six listed buildings. It was built in 1616 by Sir George Booth. During the first world war the hall was used as a military hospital.
