Taken from near to the Memorial Garden, set up in memory of those who were originally buried in the Wesleyan graveyard now covered by the carpark.

Exit (only) from Tesco onto Arlington Road.

"This garden is to commemorate the former use of the land as a Wesleyan Cemetery. The remains of those interred in the cemetery between 25th October 1868 and July 1968 have been removed and are now interred at Bury Cemetery, Blackley Cemetery and Southern Cemetery, where there are monuments to confirm their origins." These are the words on a plaque at the entrance to the garden. This little garden is adjoining Tesco's carpark. A few years back, the existing shopping centre was demolished and replaced with a giant supermarket and a number of new small shop units. Tesco's opened in 2009, but the small units are still mostly empty four years on. Adjacent to the old shops was a disused cemetery and, amid much controversy, the bodies were moved and a giant carpark built.

Bury-bound Metrolink Bombardier M500 tram number 3010 arrives at Crumpsall.

Major upgrade work to upgrade the station began in August 2017 in readiness for the stop to act as the northern terminus for the new six-stop line which is planned to run directly from the Trafford Centre through the city centre and onto the upgraded Crumpsall stop. As well as changes to the existing platforms, the major work involves creating a new entrance from Crumpsall Lane, with both stepped and step-free access. The existing inbound platform is being enlarged to form a new island platform with a turnback facility on the eastern side of the current inbound platform. North bound trams will be able to return southwards to Manchester city centre from this stop; similar to Shaw and Compton on the Manchester, Oldham and Rochdale line. The new line is scheduled to be operational by 2020. Image] shows an artist's impression of how the upgraded station is expected to look when the upgrade has been completed.
