Clitheroe, Lancashire Beggars Bush Plantation 1847

The location is a plantation of trees along the north side of the Clitheroe Road just west of Bashall Bridge, east of Cow Ark. It forms part of the Browsholme Hall Estate. Google maps shows a fairly sparse screen of trees, none of great maturity. The name plantation suggests that this was not originally woodland. The area is shown wooded on the OS Survey 1:63360 First Series (1847) and the Land Utilisation Survey of Britain 1:63360 (1925 to 1948). Read the rest of this entry »

Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, Lancashire Beggars Bush 2009

A restaurant at 48 Beech Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, M21 9EG.

A review says that it is names after the owner/head chefs brother’s “little beach cafe” in Ubud, Bali.

This has since closed. I hope the proprietors did not find themselves at Beggars Bush.
