    I think it was part of Mottram road years ago before the area was pedestrianised and this section got cut off.

    Just checked a map from 1875, and it's named as Market Place, further up near to the Queens Hotel is Clarendon Place, and Mottram Road is shown more or less where it starts from today..

    Is the Werneth Low image taken from the bottom of Green Lane?

    Tom's right in that Market Place ran from the District Bank to the junction with Hoviley, then it became Clarendon Place and Mottram Road began roughly where Dr Ellis's surgery was.
