34 Haslemere Road. The Papers also contain a Copy Draft Conveyance, of the 1 st November 1878 (E/SHAW/5/55) between Messrs. Whitehead and Barlow and William Flitcroft, relating to a plot of land in Flixton known as Tree Hey. This document places Tree Hey in the Shaw (sic) area of Flixton, with the marriage of John Royle and Elizabeth Shawcross potentially explaining the long term connection between the families and the eventual appearance of Tree Hey amongst deeds and documents pertaining to the Royles and dated 23 rd September 1952 (E/18/61) It becomes apparent that once we begin to look at the history of the Pool Plat area, the families involved with its sale and purchase and the extended connections to the Royles, we can see that a vast social network has been created. This does not affect just Flixton but influences the family into Urmston and further east still into Stretford, at Hole House Farm, Urmston Lane, Lostock, and King Street, Stretford. It is noticeable that the occupations of farming, trade and land ownership and conveyance are very skilfully combined. This combination has led to the establishment of a very influential family, which up until the latter quarter of the 20 th century maintained a major influence upon the district. The added occupation of property development, particularly in the 1930s, helped to maintain this influence. ‘Part Six’ of this article will further examine the dealings of the Royles in relation to Pool Plat and their business partners and look at some further suggested family links, which will provide us with yet more examples of how closely integrated was Flixton Village with its farming and trade community.
