Manchester's Old Ring Road
Before Manchester wisely invested in motorways, this was the principal route around Manchester's northern suburbs. In that era, it was only as wide as the section visible under the bridge, at which point a short, severe slope rises to the main Bolton road. Hugely unfunny with nose to tail traffic of all sizes and shapes, all with rather less powerful brakes and engines than today.

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.

The Henry Boddington
Named after the major influence in the development of Boddington's Brewery, but it could also refer to a landscape artist of the same name. The pub/motel has kept this name through much turbulence for the Boddington's business which has resulted in its disappearance. Boddington's Bitter is still produced in cans at Samlesbury by InBev, one of the global brewing giants.
