This brick archway, at the junction of Chester Road and Bridgewater Way, marks the boundary between the borough of Trafford and the City of Manchester. From this side, we see the Manchester coat of arms. From the other side, we would see the Trafford coat of arms.

Barrack Street, Manchester
One of few reminders of Hulme Barracks, built in 1817 and demolished about a century later - these were built in the early C20th for NCOs. Contrary to appearances they are flats, split between ground and first floors, with access via paired doors, "an unusual configuration in Manchester, though common in Tyneside". Similar houses survive on the parallel St George's Avenue.
