On the other side of the M67 the southern end of Edward Street emerges onto Manchester Road between Clark Way and the railway bridge, and the building which used to be the Swan Hotel is on the corner between Edward Street and Clark Way.Dave Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-27200737439709453872011-04-11T21:26:56.516+01:002011-04-11T21:26:56.516+01:00Thanks Dave...

The two maps are interesting - I note that Caxton Works is marked on the later one but is earlier labelled as Mary Street Iron Works.<br />The map also marks Wilson Brook which until recently was invisible within the Automasters complex but now is openly visible within the new housing complex there.Gerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-61080645357745776762011-04-11T15:17:21.865+01:002011-04-11T15:17:21.865+01:00I think I can throw some light on this with the he...I think I can throw some light on this with the help of Paul Taylor's booklet, and a map or two...Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-73263009670677098332011-04-11T11:29:03.300+01:002011-04-11T11:29:03.300+01:00There appear to be trolley bus wires on the first ...There appear to be trolley bus wires on the first picture, but the picture's far too early for trolley buses so they must be for trams. There only appears to be one set of tram tracks though, so it looks as if there was only one-way traffic round this bend, which accounts for the two wires being so close to each other. It would be interesting to know how they determined right of way. Not much traffic seems to have used the road as evidenced by the figures standing in the road underneath the bridge in what would be a positively suicidal position nowadays.Dave Williamsnoreply@blogger.com
