Life on quiet street that locals say is 'like Blackpool illuminations' at Christmas As the late afternoon descends on Sale, Greater Manchester, the daylight begins to fade.
Gigantic Christmas trees twinkle in residents' front gardens, Santa Claus emerges from inflatable chimneys - as do dinosaurs - and even the Grinch himself is spotted, his car roof laden with gifts parked in someone's driveway.
While this season can often feel somewhat gloomy, a stroll or drive down Chestnut Drive in Sale will swiftly remind you of the joyous moments that winter brings.
Multicoloured lights elegantly spread across window sills, enormous red and green striped candy canes embellish driveways, and icicles hang from the upper floors of homes.
For the past four years, the illuminations on Chestnut Drive have become a must-see attraction for locals and visitors alike.
