The houses in the background are on Lumb Lane. The inside of the triangle formed by Lumb Lane, Manchester Road (the A635) and Droylsden Road (the A662) used to have nice semi-detached houses along Lumb Lane and Manchester Road, whilst there was filling station on Droylsden Road. The houses and filling station were demolished when the Metrolink extension to Ashton was first mooted. Later high hedges were planted around the site. Currently the area is being used as a storage and operational site for work on the Metrolink.
