Speculative attribution based on the Manchester Guardian report of 1892 - the only known reference to four houses on Dickinson Road designed by Walters. By the 1840s there had been some small-scale development close to the junction with Wilmslow Road, but otherwise it ran through open fields. between Rusholme and Longsight. These houses are not shown on the 1848 OS map

CHECK - Information that these houses were built on land owned by Richard Cobden
