Looking up Ashworth Lane, the B6174 towards the crossroads with the A560. The area on the left off Chain Bar Road was once full of houses, part of the Manchester Overspill Housing built in the 1950s. Several years ago as part of the Hattersley Estate Renewal program they were all demolished with the exception of one house on Shelmardine Close (which had been purchased by the sitting tenant who refused the offer of a buyout) and the boarded up houses either side. The site is being used now as a works area for the construction of the Tesco Extra supermarket on the opposite side of Ashworth Lane (behind the photographer).
