BETWEEN MANCHESTER AND RIBCHESTER. 3 
termine. It might pass through the station, and 
diverge thence up Deansgate to Hunt’s-bank, or 
it might run on to Hunt’s-bank without touching 
the station. It, however, left Manchester at 
Hunt’s-bank, forming there an angle at the high- 
est point as usual, and corresponding with the 
present line of road hence to Bury, through 
Strangeways, as far as that line is perfectly 
straight. Beyond Strangeways Hall, however, 
the houses on that side of the road project a little 
into the line, and here, in front of the farthest 
houses so projecting, and for a short space in the 
field beyond, a portion of an elevated straight 
ridge, directly upon the line, is very evident, 
which may be remains of the Roman road. The 
present road at the Toll-bar, or near it, then de- 
viates a little from the line to the left, and con- 
tinues so to do until we ascend the summit of the 
hill—while the line of the Roman road continues 
on, under the site of the houses forming the 
terrace, to the right ascending the hill, and on 
account of the remains of the Roman road being 
discovered in digging the foundations of the 
houses forming a part of these—we find a portion 
of them appropriately designated ‘“‘ Roman Road* 
* I believe this is the name on the farthest house of the 
range—‘‘ Roman Road Terrace.”’
