 Within this
area, bounded on the north and south by Hathersage
Road (once High Street) and Dickenson Road, and on the
west and east by Anson Road and a combination of
Plymouth Grove and Stockport Road, lay the eastern
portion of Victoria Park. Even today,
when much has changed in Longsight, the streets seem
wider here and the splendid old houses still stand as
evidence of grander days when carriages plied tree-lined
roads and toll gates kept the riff-raff at bay.
 The
toll gates are gone along with the wealthy merchants
who built the grand houses.
 However, most of their houses are still there although they are now home to university students, or have been converted into private hospitals and a variety of clinics and small businesses. *******************
