Central reservation on Mauldeth Road West near Chorlton Park
This wide dual carriageway was constructed in the late 1920s, connecting to a widened Hardy Lane, which terminated at Hardy Farm, some way north of the foot crossing over the Mersey at Jackson's Boat. An extension was planned which would have taken Hardy Lane across the river to Sale - this was never constructed. As a result, even today, the road carries much less traffic than it was built to take. The central reservation was reserved for tram tracks which, as far as I know, were never laid. Trees were later planted instead, mainly planes. These were felled during 2011 to make way for the Metrolink extension towards Manchester Airport, which is to be routed along the centre of the road.

Shops on Mauldeth Road West, Chorlton
The building to the left, on the opposite side of Nell Lane, is the Southern Hotel. All were built in the 1920s, along with the wide dual carriageway. From left to right: Ali Superstore (off licence), a shop with no sign (empty?), and Fish-A-Licious (previously the Southern Friery). The Metrolink tram line to Manchester airport will be constructed along the central reservation, crossing this view.

The Southern Hotel, Chorlton
This substantial public house was built in the 1920s at the corner of Mauldeth Road West and Nell Lane. For a number of years the pub had had an Irish theme (there being a large Irish population in the area). According to the signs the building also housed 'Mammy's Irish Kitchen'(a cafe) and the Celtic Tiger nightclub (offering live Irish music). The Southern closed in April 2011 and as of December 2011 was still boarded up and up for sale.
