The distant trees mark the site of Sainsbury's, and the old narrow bridge over the railway was later replaced by a wide modern one to take late 20th century traffic. The photographer is standing at the bottom of The Downs, where passenger services from Manchester and Stretford used to terminate: first, horse drawn, then electric trams (from April 1907), then buses (also numbered 47 & 48). The vehicles used to turn around in this widely spaced road junction on Railway Street, where there once stood a cab stand.
