More about this scene

The photographer is looking up Bridgnorth Road towards Wollaston Junction. The High Street branches left at the junction. It is unusual in being mainly residential, with commercial development centred on Bridgnorth Road. Several streets in Wollaston are named after politicians: halfway along on the right is Cobden Street, after Richard Cobden (1804-65), Liberal MP for Stockport.
