Miles Platting - Oldham Road
The southernmost portion of the main A62 out of Manchester is pictured at the boundary between Ancoats and Miles Platting, near Butler Lane. Neither is a good place to stroll around at quiet times of day.

We're not scared!
Seen on Oldham Road. A grey heron looms over various pigeons which might be expected to be wary. Mancunian pigeons are made of sterner stuff.

Lloydsfield Mill
Late 19th century cotton mill now in other uses. I have deduced the location and mill name from its position in the slide box, satellite imagery, google, multimap and "Textile mills in Greater Manchester". Please correct me if I've screwed up.

Chimney, Lloydsfield Mill, Miles Platting
Again this is an exercise in deductive reasoning. The slide box is labelled "Miles Platting" and the slide is consecutive with Lloydsfield Mill as I've identified it. The multimap satellite shows a chimney hard by the canal but the google earth image shows cleared ground. The flats behind are still visible on the satellite. I still don't take adequate notes but these days they're on Geograph while the memory is fresh.
Some people would consider the above as superfluous "trumpet blowing" - I regard it as interesting background!
