Newton Heath Train Maintenance Depot
The depot now maintains trains for Northern Rail. It first opened in 1876 with the coming of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
In 1878, workers in the railway yard formed Newton Heath LYR (Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway) Football Club to indulged their passion for association football with games against other departments of the LYR or other railway companies. In 1902, the club changed its name to Manchester United.

244 Lightbowne Road, Manchester
Terraced housing lines Lightbowne Road in the low profile Lightbowne area of North Manchester, England. I say low profile because it is not as well known as the neighbouring North Manchester districts of Moston, Newton Heath and Harpurhey. This particular photograph is centred on number 244 Lightbowne Road - a red-brick terraced house that is typical of both Manchester and Greater Manchester as a whole.
