Queens Road meets Oldham Road, Miles Platting
The two roads' intersection has long-standing importance: in pre-motorway days as the point at which the main route between southern Lancashire and West Yorkshire met Manchester's ring road and more recently as the route for traffic from the M62 towards Manchester's Eastlands complex. Originally Oldham Road was lined with terraced houses, with numerous shops at this intersection, including a cinema situated in the middle of the now vacant foreground land. A few shops survive on Oldham Road including an absolutely first rate Chinese takeaway.

Oldham Road railway bridge 1989
A notorious hump in the line from Miles Platting to Ashton caused by the need to provide clearance for double-deck buses (trams, originally!). Philips Park No.1 signalbox is visible in the distance.

Miles Platting station (Ashton platforms) 1989
The very tight curve of the branch line to Ashton diverging from the original Manchester-Leeds railway line is readily apparent, as are the long sloping access ramps to each of the platforms. Railway operators may notice that the signalman at Miles Platting Junction has replaced his signals to danger remarkably quickly.
