What Happened To Agecroft?
Few traces remain of industrial Agecroft, dominated by its colliery, power station and ancillary works - all notable landmarks adjacent to the old Manchester ring road. This modern housing estate occupies what used to be the Thermalite works: a factory producing construction blocks out of waste ash from the power station. The rest has been landscaped out of all recognition.
