Dist:0.2km<br/>The two doorways in the centre of this shot are the entrances to house number 198 and 196 Manchester Road, in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, England. These red-brick terraced properties are atypical of much of salubrious and suburban Altrincham - which contains some of the more desirable properties in Greater Manchester - but nevertheless are a common site along the major arterial roads in the town, and are typical of much of Trafford and Greater Manchester as a whole.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Has clearly provided hours of entertainment for local yahoos with stones. I'd have had a go myself if they'd left any. Derelict warehouses behind also presumably for the chop.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The nineteenth century warehouse, at the side of the Bridgewater canal at Broadheath, contrasts starkly with the two modern apartment blocks (the Budenberg HAUS Projekte - http://www.architecture.com/Awards/RIBAAwards/Winners2007/NorthWest/Budenberg/BudenbergHAUSProjekte.aspx ). Opened in 2003, the apartment blocks are the first part of a larger regeneration project along the canalside.

The project takes its name from the Budenberg Gauge Company which used to occupy the site, and one of whose buildings has been retained. The site was vacated by the company in 1992 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budenberg_Gauge_Company.
