Fallowfield Loop Cycleway
Looking along the line of the disused railway line towards Chorlton Junction from the start of the route near Sidbury Road. The cycleway, developed in the late 1990s, is to be realigned to cross the tracks and run along the north side to accommodate the planned extension to the Metrolink network to St Werburgh's Road. Work had already commenced to clear the line and widen the cutting.

Fallowfield Loop Cycleway at the end of Sidbury Road
In the 1990s the disused Fallowfield Loop line and part of the disused railway line west of Chorlton Junction was converted to a cycle path. When this photo was taken work was well underway to re-open the line as far as the junction as part of the Metrolink tram network. This opened on 7 July 2011. The cycleway has now been realigned to cross the tracks a short distance from this location and the cutting widened to accommodate both the cycleway and the tram tracks.
