The road and houses linking the East and West ends of Glebelands Road were constructed by Mr F Webb and some of the houses can be seen under construction. Mr Webb told me that the delay in joining the two ends of Glebelands Road was caused by a problem with the levels, making it difficult to find a route for the sewers.

Yorkshire Road Prestwich, built by Prestwich Council in the late 1930s to a design similar to the East Lancs Road, which had been completed a few years previously. The Trunk Road Act was passed by Parliament in 1936, and the idea of a Trunk Road to Yorkshire was already under consideration by Lancashire County Council, and a route must have been laid out, as it can be seen clearly on the photo that a corridor has been left undeveloped on the eastern side of Bury Old Road, which came under Whitefield council. Here the houses come up to the edge of the proposed road, which however was not built. With the idea of Motorways taking hold from the early 1940s, by the time construction of the M62 began in the 1960s, the design concept of Yorkshire Street was completely outdated, and everything had to be demolished to make way for the Motorway.
