The carriage works' site
Until the 1970s the view here would have been of the former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway's carriage works, by then in use for a decade as a plant for building concrete construction components for railway use. The works, its associated sidings and most traces of heavy industry are now history, replaced by business parks such as Central Park, visible in the distance, or wasteland.

Newton Heath Depot, Newton Heath, Manchester
This depot started life in the 19th century with the arrival of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway to the town. The Rochdale canal and the railway provided the impetus to change Newton Heath (the new town on the heath) from an agricultural to industrial community, with soap making, rope making, glass making, match making (as in Lucifers, not dating!!) and varied engineering factories. Newton Heath is also the place where Manchester United Football Club started life in 1879 as Newton Heath F.C., before moving ground and changing name in 1902. SD872007

Central Park, Greater Manchester Police HQ
GMP’s Divisional HQ on Northampton Road at the Central Park urban renewal development area was opened on 8 February 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_13mL_dSEDY Youtube video of the official opening).
The new complex replaces Bootle Street, Newton Heath and Grey Mare Lane police stations “as they no longer support the needs of a 21st Century police force”.
