The 1906 1:2500 map shows that this once led to a row of three houses. It now leads to a parking area behind 20C terrace houses on Woodhead Road, although I think there is a better vehicle access from Woodhead Road. The houses were shown on the six-inch map of c.1850, and were demolished c. 1965, possibly because the retaining wall holding up the land to the rear was collapsing. This part of Woodhead Road was called Salford Road in 1906.
