The original owners of Brookside also ran Hills Garden Centre which was situated on the A50 going into Knutsford. They also had a miniature railway at Hills but nowhere near as extensive as the Brookside one. When the company went bankrupt the Brookside Garden Centre was taken over by Klondyke/Strikes but I'm pretty sure that the Hills Garden Centre remained closed. Maybe Klondyke/Strikes obtained the track from Hills and used it to extend the Brookside system?
