Charlestown breathes a quiet dignity, a suburban fringe of Manchester where the land begins to unfurl. It lies 2.7 km north-west of Failsworth (from Failsworth: bearing 307°T, OS grid SD 871 029). The houses, often red-brick with modest gardens, huddle against the north-westerly winds, their chimneys occasionally releasing plumes of smoke that catch the pale sunlight. Once, perhaps, this was ground more open to the sky, but now the suburban sprawl has softened the edges of the landscape, creating a gentle, lived-in feel. There's a sense of continuity here, of lives lived and passed down through generations, reflected in the steady pace of its streets.
