Dist:0.3km<br/>The southernmost portion of the main A62 out of Manchester is pictured at the boundary between Ancoats and Miles Platting, near Butler Lane. Neither is a good place to stroll around at quiet times of day.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This used to be the Osborne Hotel, which was a traditional pub. The beer was not exceptional, though I can't remember the brewer. It has been closed for quite a few years. I think it had a spell as a hostel but is now completely empty.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Late 19th century cotton mill now in other uses. I have deduced the location and mill name from its position in the slide box, satellite imagery, google, multimap and "Textile mills in Greater Manchester". Please correct me if I've screwed up.
