This 1920s picture of Uplands Farm on Werneth Low features Violet Warner.
She and her husband lived there with her sister who was the wife of Wright Robinson, an active trade unionist who was Lord Mayor of Manchester 1941-42.
In the summer months they provided teas for ramblers and advertised by posting notices in rhyme on woodland trees.
