"Fairhills Point is in the metropolitan borough of Salford, on the north bank of the River Irwell. Fairhills Road, which is adjacent to the development, leads to Irlam’s main shopping complex which offers everything from butchers and grocers to large retail units and superstores".
Fantastic spin, the main shopping complex being the 24hr Tesco Extra and Lidl, as most local food shops have closed since Tesco came to town in the 1970s. However, what is intriguing is the target group for the Fairhills housing development, air hostesses!
"With its close proximity to Manchester International Airport and competitively priced new houses and apartments, it is no surprise that Charles Church’s Fairhills Point development in Irlam has already become a favourite with airport staff".
Irlam is only 9 miles from the airport, and can be reached within 2omins by car, if the M60 is not at a standstill. I guess £130,000 grand for a decent size size/apartment is still well below national averages and a 24hr superstore around the corner must appeal to people who work unusual shifts. I wonder what cultural facilities could be provided for Irlam's new cosmopolitan jet setters?

This blogs presents the unfurling corporate history of Irlam and Cadishead. In a way it is a vague and amateurish homage to the film and book Robinson in Space (in which Irlam and Cadishead get a brief mention). The method is simple. Whilst acknowledging the towns' rich personal and sporting heritage, this blogs aims to provide commentary on the industrial development of Irlam and Cadishead's economic identity in a complex global world. Comments are much appreciated.
