Dewsnap Way, HYDE, SK14 3ED

The A560 from Stockport towards the A57 and end of the M67 at Mottram from the junction with Underwood Road, Hattersley. On the right a Tesco Extra store is under construction on land formerly used for housing.

The A560 divides the Hattersley Estate into two unequal parts. This is the main intersection between the two parts of the estate.

Looking across the A560 to Stockport from the corner with Ashworth Lane towards the corner with Underwood Lane. The bus at the crossroads is a #201 from Manchester which will terminate on John Kennedy Road.

The new district 'hub' on Ashworth Lane. When fully operational, the new facility will physically house the library service, Hattersley Neighbourhood partnership, the police, the community association and Peak Valley Housing Association as well as numerous other community groups (press release).

Looking across Stockport Road to the site of the Tesco supermarket currently under construction. In the background is St Michael and All Angels church at Mottram. Not in view is the Monkey Puzzle tree (see view in 2008 Image) now moved to a site off Ashworth Lane Image

Looking across the junction from Underwood Road over the A560 towards Ashworth Lane. The buildings under construction are part of the Tesco Xtra site. I understand that these will be "community buildings" provided by Tescos as a "sweetener" for being allowed to build on former residential land.

Looking from Stockport Road at the road leading up to the upper storey of the Tesco superstore car park. On the right, still under construction, is what will be the new Hattersley Community Hub which will include a library and other facilities. Visible in the background is the Tesco filling station and beyond that the village of Mottram in Longdendale. Mottram church is hidden behind the multi-storey car park. In 2008 it was visible beyond the monkey puzzle tree Image which was located just behind the lamppost on the left.

A Tesco supermarket is under construction off Ashworth Lane, Hattersley.

The A560 at Hattersley from the junction with Ashworth Lane. The council demolished all the houses on the east side of Stockport in the mid-noughties. However one owner resisted all offers to purchase and remains. Wildflowers grow on the former garden of the adjacent boarded-up house.

Following demolition of part of the Hattersley Estate, this monkey puzzle tree is all that is left on Garnett Road. The area is now fenced off and awaits redevelopment.
