West Didsbury
If you're not familiar with West Didsbury, there's an abundance of bars and bistros along Burton Road.  Once you've finished your vintage shopping you can saunter across the road to 'Folk' for refreshments and watch the world go by!

Parking
Parking can be a problem in this leafy little suburb.  If you're travelling by car, we strongly recommend using the large car park situated at Withington hospital.  It's just around the corner from the Joe Petrillo hair salon.  The entrance is on Nell Lane (off Burton Road), with disabled and short stay parking bays nearest the hospital building.  Parking is free for those with disabled badges.  A scale of charges applies for other cars - but the first 30 minutes is free.

Take a ticket at the barrier when you first arrive in the car park.  Before returning to your car, you must pay at the pay-station near the main entrance.  The machine takes coins and most notes.
