Oldham loop line from Dean Lane
A view of the former Oldham railway line, looking towards Manchester. Newton Heath rolling stock depot is on the right. The rather wet trackbed on the left will provide the route of a tram operation to Oldham from 2012, if the plans are on schedule.

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
