From
the South:
Leave M6 at J19, follow A556 to M56 signed for Manchester
Airport. Turn off at J6 for Hale Barns. Pass through Hale
Barns. Go straight on at traffic lights (Delahays Road
[A5144] is the right turn at these lights) and take third
road on right (Westminster Road) and continue straight
on for half a mile or so, down a slight hill with speed
humps, to Moss Lane. Ground is on the right.
From the North:
Leave M60 at Stretford and continue south towards
Altrincham on A56 for about 4 miles. Follow signs to Altrincham
town centre either by taking a left turn after about 3
miles onto the B5164 (Barrington Road. Just after passing
the Old Mill pub (on left) and then Altrincham station
clock tower (also on left and pictured right), Moss Lane
is the first turning on the left, (McDonald's is on the
right at this crossroads). However, since 3 November 2002
Moss Lane has been made one-way at the town centre end
so there is no longer vehicle access from the the A538
main road (Railway Street/Stamford New Road) which runs
through Altrincham. So, vehicles should carry on southwards
a quarter of a mile, past Altrincham Post Office (on right),
and turn left at the next set of proper traffic lights
into Lloyd Street. After crossing railway bridge, with
Tesco on the left, turn first left (Manor Road) and proceed
to the second set of traffic lights, where you should
turn right into Moss Lane (currently unmarked). The ground
is less than half a mile away on left, in front of a tall
communications pylon, which can be seen from some distance
away.
On
Foot:
Pedestrians can still turn up Moss Lane from the town
centre (A538) and go over the railway bridge, after
which there is a large Tesco on the right. Go straight
on at cross roads and the ground is half a mile along
Moss Lane on the left.
