The Police Station is at the junction of Station Road and Church Road and is opposite Terry's Store |
| Approximately half way down Church Road is a short stretch of shops which include hardware, sub post office, diving equipment etc. | |
Once Shaw Town was a hamlet between Flixton and Urmston and Shaw Hall was
a medieval hall ( possibly manorial but might have been held by a wealthy freedman )
Later a Jacobean hall was built nearby which lasted until the 20th Century. Now the area name is kept by the
sub-post office and the Shawe Hall Community Centre.

Beyond Shawe Hall the road returns to housing before reaching the golf courses and the farms |
| On the left of this picture is the William Wroe municipal golf course ( Named after a long-serving local councillor ) and on the right is the Flixton Golf Club with Beseeka Farm closest to the front |  |
 |
Beyond the golf courses and the farms lie more modern housing before the old village of Flixton is reached with parts of St Michaels dating back to the 12th century or earlier and several 17th century houses still standing |
| The Church Inn public house - for some conveniently close to St Michael's church. Also close by is The Greyhound public house/restaurant |  |
