Former railway embankment at The Snipe, Audenshaw
The overbridge at this point has long since been demolished, the railway having closed in the 1970s. It had been basically a goods only line for decades, local passenger services having ceased as early as 1905. Despite this, the station booking hall building - the hipped roof building seen here - survives to this day.

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.

British Trolleybuses - Manchester
Lumb Lane, Audenshaw was the nominal terminus of the exclusively Manchester part of the joint operation with Ashton under Lyne Corporation, although trolleybuses continued to the junction of Manchester Road and Droylsden Road to make a loop terminus.
The buildings in the background remain unchanged, but the green patch now sports some trees.
