Metrolink construction site from Mauldeth Road West, Chorlton-cum-Hardy
The railway line was closed in the 1960s, but is to reopen as part of an extension to the Metrolink tram network to East Didsbury. Work was well underway, with the new line scheduled to open in Summer 2013. Construction work was well underway by December 2011.

Central reservation on Mauldeth Road West
This wide dual carriageway was constructed in the late 1920s, and connects to a widened Hardy Lane, which terminates at Hardy Farm, some way north east of the foot crossing over the Mersey at Jackson's Boat. Prior to the construction of this road, a narrow lane led from Hough End Hall to a bridge over the railway line. A 'Hardy Lane Extension' was planned, but 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. However just after the last tree seen in this view, the planned Metrolink line towards Manchester Airport will join from the right, and run along the centre of the road to its junction with Barlow Moor Road / Hardy Lane.

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.
