To call this place a
village is a bit
misleading.
Manchester is a large
conubation and Didders is a small part of it. Although, originally, it was probably a village all by itself, the surrunding communities have grown (as has Didsbury) until the borders are all but invisible.
There are essentially 2 parts to Disbury, East and West. These lie on either side of Palatine Road with West Didsbury often seen as being more well off with higher priced housing etc.
At Palatine Road, the East is also quite exclusive, with large Victorian houses that cost s*** loads. As you move further east, towards an area called Burnage, the housing tends to become a little more average, perhaps a little run down and then a bit horrible when you actually get to Burnage.
When you refer to Disbury Village, you are actually refering to the main high street in East Didsbury where (surprise surprise) most of the shops, pubs and offices are concentrated. The 'Village' is not terribly big, stretching along Wilmslow Road for about 1/4 mile. You tend to move out of the village pretty quickly if you move away from Wilmslow Road.
As Peej said, it is always buzzing with people and a lovely place to spend an evening with lovers or friend (or both), well worth a visit.
