Tesco
Site of the former W.M. Christy and Sons Ltd, Fairfield Mills, Manchester Road, Droylsden.
In 1851, the first machine woven towel in the world, the Terry towel, was produced at Droylsden on an adapted loom. The Royal Turkish towels became famous and Christy's were the biggest producers in the world. Queen Victoria had a regular order.
Sadly, the mill closed at the end of the 1980's, and in 1997 Tesco opened this supermarket on the site.

Metrolink Tram on Manchester Road
Metrolink Bombardier M5000 tram number 3043 on Manchester Road as it approaches Droylsden Tram Station. Although the line from Piccadilly to Droylsden wasn't officially opened until 11th February, this tram was operating on a free service during the previous weekend as a "thank-you" to residents living next to the route (http://www.manchesterconfidential.co.uk/News/Droylsden-Metrolink-Route-Opening-Imminent Manchester Confidential).
The new Droylsden Tram stop will operate as the temporary terminus for the Metrolink East Manchester Line Extension which will eventually run to Ashton-Under-Lyne.
