The Southern and the dual carriageway it stands alongside were built in the late 1920s. The traffic cones are a sign of preliminary works to move services to allow for the Manchester Metrolink extension towards the airport. The tram lines will run along the centre of the road. The Southern Hotel had closed a year or so earlier and was boarded up.
