View of Lloyd Street, Altrincham
The distant trees mark the site of Sainsbury's, and the old narrow bridge over the railway was later replaced by a wide modern one to take late 20th century traffic. The photographer is standing at the bottom of The Downs, where passenger services from Manchester and Stretford used to terminate: first, horse drawn, then electric trams (from April 1907), then buses (also numbered 47 & 48). The vehicles used to turn around in this widely spaced road junction on Railway Street, where there once stood a cab stand.

Corner apartments
Erected, in recent years, in the centre of Altrincham. If anything, this is the interesting side, i.e. the back. The front elevations - on Lloyd Street and Railway Street (including shop units at street level) - are incredibly bland and utilitarian for such a prominent site. No lessons seem to have been learned from such 1960s planning failures as "The Graftons"
