The Trevor Arms in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy advertises products of Groves & Whitnall. This Salford based brewery was acquired by Greenall Whitley & Co. Ltd in 1961 and brewing ceased in March 1972. It is a great shame that most of the fine terracotta on the frontage has been covered in green paint.

Chorlton Ees Nature Reserve is situated partly upon the former site of the Withington sewage works, built in the 1880s an finally closed in 1972. This was replaced by this pumping station which raise the sewage so that it can then flow to the works at Stretford. The locals seem to have decided that the building needs a constantly changing set of decorative paintings.
