Didsbury lies about 6 miles south of the centre of Manchester lying on both sides of the road south towards Wilmslow. In the Jacobite march south from Manchester to Derby in 1745 it is likely that this is the route taken over the old ford of the River Mersey. During the Victorian expansion of Manchester Didsbury developed as a prosperous settlement and continues so to this day.
Perhaps most famously, during the English Civil War, The famed Prince Rupert stationed himself at what is now the Library on Barlow Moor Road.
