clayton triangle

It looks like the clayton triangle housing project has started, last week the police and fire brigade oversaw the removal of the remaining scrap cars from the former AAA Recovery site, and today large diggers moved in and started dismanteling the burned out shell of the old Planit Kitchens. Anyone who has to negotiate the gridlocked junction at the Hare and Hounds will appreciate the extra traffic this will eventually generate.

It is called mill street, you cant miss the site, as AAA Recovery put up this large metal fence around the site( without planning permission, and enclosed council land and a garage site at the same time).
As an aside the boss of AAA is now a partner along with H.B.C. and British Waterways in the construction of the homes set to go within the clayton triangle.
The homes will start at mill street, Whalley Road, go along the canal until it reaches the Sea cadets headquarters

Not clearly ... although the name doesn't sound unfamiliar ... I barely remember Alexander St

... I'm trying not to use google maps in the hope that memory will kick in. If I have a clear flashback, I'll let you know
