Market Street, Droylsden
Looking along Market Street, past the Greenside Lane junction in March 1979.
The Kings Head public house is just visible on the corner. In the 2010 view (Image] -albeit from the other side of the road) the Kings Head has been extended and there are now traffic lights controlling the junction.

The Kings Head, Droylsden
On the corner of Market Street and Greenside Lane. Droylsden is a desert for good beer, and Holts pubs like this provide a bit of relief. Droylsden FC's Butchers Arms ground is behind. I understand that on Premier League match days, most of the clientele favour City rather than United.

Droylsden Football Club
The home of Droylsden FC on Market Street.
Droylsden were originally formed at the invitation of Joseph Cropper, the landlord of the Butchers Arms public house, to play behind the pub. After twenty years of friendlies and local leagues, disbandment, reformations and changes of strip, the club emerged from World War I the sole survivors amongst the village teams, and as members of the Manchester League.
The club also adopted their now traditional colours of red and white, the inspiration for the unusual nickname of The Bloods.
The club currently (2010) play in the Blue Square North league.
