The Snipe Inn, on the left hand side of the road, is probably all that remains in this area from the 1960s. To the left, Ashton Moss has been covered with a motorway junction, link roads and industrial units. On the right, Moss Colliery (also known as Snipe Colliery) has been replaced by the Snipe Retail Park.
