Manchester Road, Snipe
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 20 Jul 2010
Manchester Road, passing through the area of Audenshaw known as "The Snipe". The area is unrecognisable from its appearance in the 1960s. This is just about where the railway bridge crossed over the road. To the right, where the retail park now stands, was Moss Colliery (also known as Snipe Colliery). To the left were the open fields of Ashton Moss; now covered by industrial units and a large motorway junction.
