As the name suggests, this arterial road heading north out of Manchester was originally the first part of the route to York. As Cheetham developed as a town in its own right the name of the road was changed to reflect this fact. Using a series of descriptions written over a period of about 100 years we delve into the buildings, the businesses and the people who have created the diverse and fascinating district that we see today.
