On Ashton New Road, Manchester ? 1966
The terraced houses and shops of disappeared with modern housing on the left hand side, and the right hand side now taken up with the large sporting complex which includes the Etihad arena. This view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3465831 gives an indication of how mauch the view has changed.
The bus is an Ashton-under-Lyne trolleybus, which would not normally be found here as trolleybus services along Ashton New Road were provided exclusively by Manchester Corporation. The occasion was a tour of the complete Manchester and Ashton trolleybus system organised by the Liverpool University Public Transport Society.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide

Construction Work at Etihad Stadium
The Etihad Stadium was originally built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and named "City of Manchester Stadium". After the Games, The stadium was leased to Manchester City FC as a replacement for their old ground at Maine Road. In 2010, the club announced that the stadium would be renamed "The Etihad Stadium" as part of a sponsorship deal.
It is currently the fifth-largest stadium in the Premier League and the twelfth-largest in the UK, with a seating capacity of 47805. Work began in March 2014 to add approximately 6000 seats to the South Stand; a project due to be completed in time for the start of the 2015/16 Barclays Premier League season. Planning permission has also been granted for a third phase which could see a further 6000 seats and a total capacity of approx. 61000, making the Etihad the second largest stadium in the Premier League, second only to local rivals United whose ground holds in excess of 76000 spectators (http://www.mcfc.co.uk/news/club-news/2014/june/manchester-city-announce-second-phase-of-etihad-expansion Manchester City FC).
