The bridge on Baring Street

See how this looked in 2009 Image To the right was a brick wall. To the left another wall. Behind was a derelict landscape and the remains of the disused Mayfield station. Forward to 2019 Image To the right now is an industrial unit and a sign saying "Innovation used to thrive here, now it's back with a bang." On the left work has begun on transforming the old station. Now the industry on the south side of the River Medlock has been swept away and on the left is Escape to Freight Island Image, a restaurant space inside the former freight depot, all part of Depot Mayfield. Either side of the bridge there is access the newly created Mayfield Park. On the wall by the bridge is a plaque commemorating the reconstruction of the Boardman Street Bridge by the Corporation of Manchester in 1907 Image There are virtually no other references to Boardman Street and this is now Baring Street.
