St Werburgh's Road tram stop

St Werburgh's Road is a Manchester Metrolink tram stop in south Manchester, England. It is historically located in the Hough End area, though it is now commonly regarded as being part of Chorlton-cum-Hardy. It is on the South Manchester Line, in fare zones 2 and 3. This stop was constructed and opened as part of Phase 3a of the network's expansion on 7 July 2011; it has step-free access. This stop is located on a former railway trackbed, at the former Chorlton Junction where the Manchester South District Line and Fallowfield Loop Line converged. The railway lines were left derelict when they closed; however, the Fallowfield Loop was converted to a shared-use path in the early 2000s. Part of the Manchester South District Line's trackbed was restored and converted to Metrolink; however, this tram stop itself is not a converted railway station.

Hough End Hall is a historic house in Chorlton-cum-Hardy (originally in Withington), a suburban area of Manchester, England.

The Mosleys were an influential Mancunian family from the 16th century onwards and were prominent in the affairs of the Manchester district for two and a half centuries.
