A brief traffic-free moment on Mottram Road looking towards Hyde just down the road from Godley Arches.
It is normally a busy road, hence the double-yellow lines all along each side. In the UK double-yellow lines mean strictly NO PARKING.
It isn't as busy as it would have been before the building of the M67 bypass around Hyde in the mid 1970s. Before then this was the main road (A57) running from Lincoln to Liverpool by way of Worksop, Sheffield, Glossop, Hyde, Manchester, Irlam and Warrington.

I can smell this road. Dust and leaves mixed.
ReplyDeleteI might have driven down it in 1977 - in our combi van:) Such a lovely, leafy road - great perspective short.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! I played too. Mine are here and here.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and quiet road.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice when a road isn't heavy on traffic!
