In the middle of the one-way system that is Richmond Street and Margaret Street and there is a small open space with benches around some standing stones. Behind it on Richmond Street is The Masjid Hamza Mosque, also known as the Madrassa Arabia Taleemul Qur'an and Mosque, which has space for 1,300 male worshippers. Katherine Street on the right is named after the wife of George Henry Grey, the Seventh Earl of Stamford. His wife, whom George married on the 29 August 1855, was a circus bareback rider. https://mancunian1001.wordpress.com/2013/02/14/down-our-street-6-katherine-street-and-penny-meadow-ashton-under-lyne/
