This house was built by the Countess of the Dunham Estate for her Estate Manager in 1900. Typical Victorian neo-Tudor

Trams at Navigation Road station, near Altrincham, Cheshire

Car no 1020 of Manchester Metrolink heads a two-car formation on a down service from Manchester to Altrincham. The method of working this station is very unusual: the left-hand track is used by trams in both directions, while the right-hand track, which is not electrified, is used for 'heavy rail' services, usually Manchester-Stockport-Altrincham-Chester

Diversionary tactics

The Trans Pennine Trail follows the abandoned railway line from Warrington to Altrincham for many miles - but has to divert drastically away from it at Broadheath and take to the roads.

The Bridgewater Canal is behind the hedge at the bottom of the field. The Manchester Ship Canal is lined with works beyond that, and Winter Hill lies in the far distance

BR multiple unit at Altrincham station

To complement Ron Hann's contemporary photos here is a class 304 unit which ran the Altrincham-Crewe services before Metrolink. I travelled to school on these in the 70's but took this photo shortly before the conversion.
