Tiviot Way Bridge again

I posted a view of Tiviot Way Bridge on 2nd February 2014.

This is from the opposite direction from the bottom of a greasy footpath down from Rose Street shown in my post of 29th March 2014.

The Triangle Church, Reddish

The Triangle Church on Sandy Lane, South Reddish was built in 1988 as the home of the Lancashire Hill Sunday School.

It is used as a meeting place by various community groups, but I've been unable to find anything more about it on the internet.

High rise living on Lancashire Hill

These high-rise apartments are on the side of Lancashire Hill. On the left is Stonemill Terrace. On the right is The Bentleys. The tower block in the middle is Pendlebury House. Behind it but blocked from view is another tower-block Hanover House.

Tiviot Way Bridge

This modern bridge takes Tiviot Way, the A626 Heaton Chapel to Dinting Junction road, over Penny Lane.

Penny Lane is cut off for through traffic just below the bridge to prevent it being used as a rat-run for drivers trying to avoid the main road from Reddish to Lancashire Hill.

A full account of the route of the A626 is on the Sabre website.

From Orphanage to Care Home

From the end of Penny Lane, looking across Lancashire Hill at what was originally Pendlebury Hall, an orphanage designed by architect J.W. Beaumont and erected 1881-2. It was founded through the bequest of Ralph Pendlebury who left £100,000 for the purpose. Pendlebury started his working life as apprentice to a handloom weaver, but later built and owned mills in Stockport.

This is the entrance from Dodge Hill. Previously known as Grosvenor Hall but now called Hilltop Hall Care Home, it has been fully refurbished to create a special environment where modern facilities blend in with the character and elegance of the grade II listed building. Wood panelling, stain glass windows, chandeliers and a bell tower are some of the features of the home, along with landscaped gardens in a quiet and elevated location. It is managed by Harbour Healthcare.

Keep It Clean In Stockport

This mural on the side of Lancashire Hill bridge over the M60 is part of the "Keep Britain Tidy" campaign. I don't know how long it has been there but it's beginning to look a bit tired.

Texting at the traffic lights

The lights at the bottom of Lancashire Hill were on red. I was on a bus, waiting to alight at the next stop, when I spotted this lady using her mobile phone and I couldn't resist using mine to take her photograph. Using a mobile phone when driving (even if stationary in traffic) is illegal in the UK. I didn't note her registration number so can't actually report her.

Pegasus crossing Lancashire Hill

Next to the pedestrian crossing on Lancashire Hill there is a light controlled crossing specifically for horses. A section of the Trans Pennine Trail crosses the B6167 just above Nicholson Street. This type of crossing is known as a Pegasus crossing
