Manchester Metrolink construction in Manchester Road (A662)
This is preparatory work for the laying of track. The Manchester Metrolink tramway extension to Droylsden will run along here and open in Spring 2012. Later it will be extended to Ashton-under-Lyne.
The tramway will be the third generation of electric street transport to run along here. Manchester's first generation tramway system ran here from the early 20th century until 1938. The road was used by electric trolleybuses from 1938 until December 1966.

Halfway House, 435 Manchester Road
An imposing building, on the corner of Edge Lane and Manchester Road, which would look even better if the stonework's black grime of many decades was removed.
The pub is owned by the Joseph Holt brewery in Manchester, which was established in 1849, and is still family run. It is well-known for its "Manchester Ales".
The back and white white banners seen on the corner, were encouraging people to vote in the General and local elections being held on 6th May 2010.

Halfway House (detail), 435 Manchester Road
The date of AD 1912 appears on the building. This may be the date of rebuilding, as another source claims the pub dates from 1830.

Halfway House
It's always fun to guess which two places a Halfway House refers to. In this case they are Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne. Old OS maps show a milestone a little behind where I was standing with distances to Manchester of 3 miles and Ashton 2 3/4, so the pub itself is pretty well spot on.

Halfway House pub sign, 435 Manchester Road
The name apparently originates from the pub's location approximately halfway between Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne. The sign shows a horse-drawn coach outside a building which doesn't look remotely like the present one. Maybe this was the original pub?
It's interesting to reflect on the changes in public transport running along this road over the past 200 years - horse-drawn coaches, double-deck trams, electric trolleybuses, motor buses and from early 2012 modern single-deck articulated trams.
