The A669 approaching Mumps. A few years earlier the view here would have been mainly of a railway bridge. The old railway has been replaced by the Metrolink tram system that runs at ground level. Across the tramlines is a large roundabout with exits to Mumps tram station, the A62 Oldham Way inner bypass, Oldham town centre and eventually the A62 to Huddersfield.
