Another 1960s housing estate built on the site of Lowhouse farm. This builder named his streets after rivers or palaces. The other builder named his after mountain ranges, this caused some confusion in the Rochdale area as he built more than one estate with the same street names. This was allowed because they were in different local authorities prior to the 1974 re-organisation of local government.
