The railway line viewed from Richmond Street Bridge, sometimes referred to as the Richmond Curve or the Crowthorn Curve, leaves the Manchester Victoria to Stalybridge line and curves round bypassing Guide Bridge to join the line through Denton and Reddish South to Stockport. It is now well used as a freight line only. The buildings on the left are part of the Kayley 23 Industrial Unit. Those on the other side of the line are part of the leisure complex on Ashton Moss.
