Appleby
Lodge
 Appleby Lodge is a
lovely complex of Art Deco flats on Wilmslow Road across
from Platt Fields Park. The flats were designed by
the architectural practice of Gunton and Gunton with
collaboration from Peter Cummings, the designed of both
The Apollo and The Cornerhouse cinemas.
 Below you can see the layout of the complex in an aerial photograph from the 1940s.  This Grade II Listed building was home to Sir John Barbirolli from 1943 until 1962.  This bust of Barbirolli sits outside the Bridgewater Hall, now the home of the Hallé Orchestra.  Close Window |
