Residences
Tom Cussons owned a Victorian mansion in Kersal, Salford called 'Oaklands', which was the former home of the Victorian chemist Edward Schunck. The property was within walking distance of Cussons' factory. However Oaklands was severely damaged in The Blitz of 1941, and Tom Cussons later moved to Hale, where he owned a house next to the cricket club, and not far from the then small Manchester airport, called Ringway, converted after the war into civilian use.

Famous quotes containing the word residences:
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
