Manchester Road, Snipe
Manchester Road, passing through the area of Audenshaw known as "The Snipe". The area is unrecognisable from its appearance in the 1960s. This is just about where the railway bridge crossed over the road. To the right, where the retail park now stands, was Moss Colliery (also known as Snipe Colliery). To the left were the open fields of Ashton Moss; now covered by industrial units and a large motorway junction.

Tramway at The Snipe Inn
The Snipe was always an important point on the original tramway between Manchester and Ashton, as it marked the boundary between the Manchester and Ashton tramway, and later trolleybus, networks. The new tramway passes the rear of the pub, rather than running in the main road as the old tramway did.
