Re: whats church really like???

I lived at the Henry St end of Barnes St.

It wasn't 'quiet'.
Traffic noise from Henry St is constant for 24 hours and reaches a peak at rush hour as the traffic leaves the motorway via Dunkenhalgh Way.

The neighbours weren't 'quiet'.
The walls dividing the houses were single course (no cavity), and noise was a daily nuisance. This became intolerable when the chap next door took in a noisy hyperactive lady friend. Their nightly battles kept me awake many times. I suppose other neighbours found them less of a problem, except when their battles spilled onto the street and police were called (most weekends)

There was a litter problem. When my house was up for sale I went out every morning and filled a carrier bag.

As well as all that there is always the pollution from the nearby traffic and Blythes Chemicals - Most of Church is in the 'hazard zone' which limits redevelopment.

PS - houses sell cheap for a reason - I have oulined just a few
