Metrolink tram near Sunnybank Road
Compared with traditional tramways which had their tracks straight down the middle of the road, modern systems are laid to suit the needs of modern road traffic, as here to allow vehicles space to wait for a right turn manoeuvre.

Metrolink Work on Manchester Road
Viewed from the top deck of a bus. While the Metrolink tram lines are being laid two way traffic is constricted to less than half the road's width.

Buxton Lane playing fields
Much of this land was formerly a chemical works with the ominous name of Prussiate Works. The previous owner, the East Lancashire Chemical Co, is still operating from a site further up Edge Lane. The land is much improved.

Yew Tree Swing Bridge, Droylsden
Yew Tree footbridge and swing bridge are at the end of Buxton Lane. The crossing is named after a nearby pub, now closed (Image]). There was once a "Yew Tree Farm" in the area.
Note: I have seen this bridge referred to as "Grimshaw's Bridge" ( http://www.narrowboatworld.com/index.php/news-flash/4395-bw-pays-p500000-compensation Narrowboat World) but the British Waterways sign next to the bridge names it as "Yew Tree Bridge" (Image]).

Yew Tree Swing Bridge
Boater-operated swing and lift bridges are a common feature of the canal network but it is unusual to find them on such a relentlessly urban waterway as the Ashton Canal. Nevertheless, this is one of two swing bridges in a short distance as the canal passes through Droylsden.
