Tram on Hollyhedge Road
There is traditional street track along Hollyhedge Road, but what is less traditional is that there are no stops on this section. This seems to be because there was there was no room to fit in the high platforms necessary on the Metrolink system. The stops at either end – Martinscroft and Benchill – are over one mile apart, despite running through a major housing development.

New housing for old in Benchill
From around 1946 to 1956 I lived in a house at this spot. On visiting it recently, I was told that the current houses had been built about sixteen years ago. Ours was the left-hand end of terrace, and the current one is still number 17. These new ones undoubtedly have all mod cons, but I doubt that they are any bigger than the one I lived in.
