Where is Bowdon anyway?
This section and the two below it contain various maps of Bowdon. This one shows the location of the township within the context of Altrincham, the Borough of Trafford, and Greater Manchester.
The electoral ward map shows the complete ward of Bowdon, which extends westwards as far as the Manchester Ship Canal to include Dunham Massey and Warburton. It is predominantly rural.
The final section contains a street map of Bowdon and the area covered by this project. Even though some people may well quibble about the precise boundaries of Bowdon, I decided that the electoral ward map, or more specifically the south-eastern corner of it, would serve as a good enough basis for the purposes of this project. So there.
