Mauldeth Road West, Hough End
Looking east from the bridge over the disused railway line (shortly to be re-opened as part of the Manchester Metrolink network). The For Sale / To Let signs relate to properties (probably apartments) on Chelsfield Grove. Chelsfield Grove was originally a short cul-de-sac of interwar semi-detached and detached houses, with Broughton Park Rugby Club at the end. When the rugby club relocated in the 1990s, the site was developed for housing and the road extended.

Current end of the Metrolink line near Mauldeth Road West
The disused railway line to Chorlton was re-opened as far as the new St Werburgh's Road stop in July 2011. The tracks were extended a short distance beyond the station. Work was well underway extending the route SE along the former heavy rail line to Didsbury. The line to Manchester Airport will leave the South Manchester Line just north of this point, to run across the triangular area of grass (already fenced off from the adjoining playing field), crossing Chorlton Brook, and joining Mauldeth Road West near Chorlton High School.

End of the line - for now
The new Metrolink route to Chorlton / St Werburgh's Road opened in 2011. Track had been laid for a short distance beyond the St Werburgh's Road stop, and was in use as a headshunt. Work was well underway on the next two extensions to the network - a continuation of the South Manchester Line along the disused railway to Didsbury, and a line to Manchester Airport. The latter will leave the existing line just north of this point.
The photographers position is at the foot of Twenty-seven Steps - a flight of steps (not actually 27 of them) leading up to Mauldeth Road West adjacent to the railway bridge.

Warning notice on Metrolink line fencing
This is just beyond the temporary end of the line after the St Werburgh's Road tram stop. The line will be extended across this view, along the disused railway line to East Didsbury.
