Eastern By-Pass!

This road in Clayton is a relic of a road scheme that ended before completion. This section of the Manchester Eastern By-Pass dates, I guess, from the 1930/40's judging by the style of the housing here. It is about 150 metres in length. The only other evidence I have found for this scheme is a similar section in nearby Openshaw Image
