The bottom end of Market Street. Around the left-hand bend it becomes Manchester Road. On the right is the exit from the bus station. Before the building of the M67 in the 1970s this would also have been the junction with Newton Street ahead but now there is just a slipway to the M67 immediately round the bend. Compare this with a view from 1948: http://oldhyde.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/comfort-corner-1948.html
