If you look at the line of Manchester Road as it passes The Park Inn it seems to follow straight on down Grange Lane thus making the bit between there and the Hargreaves a later re-alignment. There may well have been buildings there originally.

I have contributed to other threads on the subject of Grange lane, in the area of the Fire Station, plus photographs. Grange lane as you see it now, was impassable until the Fire Station was built in 1934, opened in May 1935. The Lane had to be raise twelve feet, to meet the bottom of Timber St & Manchester Rd.
