Prettywood rests within the Rochdale district, a quiet corner of Greater Manchester. It lies 2.4 km west of Heywood (from Heywood: bearing 266°T, OS grid SD 831 106). The lanes here often curve with a gentle consideration for the land, bordered by hedgerows that, in summer, hum with the industry of bees. Though no grand abbey or castle marks its skyline, the residential streets of Prettywood possess a certain stillness, an echo of the domestic lives that have unfolded within their walls for generations. The quality of the evening light, when it catches the brickwork of the houses, can lend a fleeting, burnished glow to the everyday scene.
