Shooters Brook

Can anyone tell me where Shooters Brook is or was? I have an 1804 Will that states that a beneficiary was living late at Shooters Brook.

Many thanks

NEWTON HEATH
Newton Heath takes its name, self-evidently, from old English meaning "the new town on the heath". The heath in question stretched originally from Miles Platting to Failsworth, and is bordered by brooks and rivers on all four sides - the River Medlock, Moston Brook, Newton Brook and Shooters Brook. Locally the district is simply referred to as Newton. There was also a "detached" area known as Kirkmanshulme which formed part of the district - Belle Vue stands on that land, which is now only remembered in Kirkmanshulme Lane which borders it. The district was incorporated into the City of Manchester in 1890.

Hi Trisha,

Many thanks for answering my query. I had assumed it was now part of Liverpool was obviously not so.
