History
On Christmas Eve, December 1944, a V-1 flying bomb exploded near Street Farm to the south of the village. It had been one of several aerial-launched rockets fired at Manchester by the German Luftwaffe. This explosion would be the most westerly impact of a V1 bomb during the Second World War.
