A Brief History…

Built in 1872 by Sir William Cunliff Brooks, Lord of the Manor, and son of Samuel Brooks, became an MP for Altrincham and Sale from 1886-92.

His many benefactions to Sale and Manchester include a fountain on Ashton Lane, which is still there today (less the water) and the Brook’s Institute on Carrington Lane.

We fell in love with this large Victorian Building in 1986; passing the building daily I would say to Dorothy.

“It’s a great location for a manchester bed and breakfast”.

Looking old and abandoned we had a nosey in the window to find the building empty.

We managed to purchase the destine to be bed and breakfast in somewhat of a dilapidated state.
The previous owners had emigrated and left the house to slowly fall by the wayside, becoming home to a flock of old pigeons residing on two floors (no that never gave me the idea).
However we had spotted its potential and after a lot of hard work and perseverance, have managed to restore this wonderful old house, back to its original glory.

The one and only….

We can boast having a very special neighbour pass the Cornerstones Guest House, every day to get his news paper. the late great,

Sir Matt Busy, who was surprised one day when our five year son Jack walk down the road with his best mate from school and a football under his arm, they knock on Sir Matt’s door which was answered by his daughter.

“Is Sir Matt Busby in please?”

“Hold on I’ll go and get him” she said.

“Hello boys and what can I do for you?” asked Sir Matt.

Jack turned to is mate and said.

“I told you, come on”

And off they went with out saying another word, leaving Sir Matt stood at the door.

Football Ay! Its a funny old game.

This Manchester bed and breakfast is just 10 minutes away from Manchester United Football ground. Park your car in Cornerstones car park, walk round the corner to Brooklands Metro station your there in 10 minutes.
