Traffic counter on Oxford Road
This traffic counter counts cyclists as they rejoin the carriageway heading southwards past the Whitworth. Being 11.03 on a Sunday morning, the daily count is fairly low at 108 - on a weekday, it would no doubt be much higher. The cumulative total for the year to date is over 300,000 - corresponding to a average daily rate of over a thousand.

Royal Infirmary, Oxford Road, Manchester
Large stripy affair in red brick and Portland stone, as was quite fashionable in Edwardian times. By E.T. Hall and John Brooke, 1905-08, who won the architectural competition. Pevsner calls it Hall's great work suggesting his contribution was the greater. The two towers stand out. Grade II listed.
It has grown to be "a large teaching hospital for Manchester University’s Medical School, and a specialist regional centre for kidney and pancreas transplants, haematology and sickle cell disease.... the Accident & Emergency Department sees around 145,000 patients each year."
