On this site once stood a recreation ground, provided by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway for their employees. The staff of the locomotive depot, whose roofs are visible in the background, established a football club, named Newton Heath after the local area. Some years later, the club moved location and renamed itself Manchester United. The rest is footballing glory.
