1635 - Hit the northern road, Jack

Yet another rainy night in Bolton
But back safely down the A666
Which leads fortunately directly on
To the A57, Salford, which
Is called Regent Road, between the A6
- That's Chapel Street, Salford - and Chester Street
- That's in Manchester, the A56
Though it's Trafford by the time your eyes greet
- Or dismiss - Manchester United's great
Stadium on your right. If you go down
There you come to the Quays where vanished ships
Can be imagined as a ghostly fleet
Unloading industrial goods and tons
Of grain. Now you just see canoes and ducks
