The large Kirkholt Estate was Rochdale Corporation's answer to the post-WWII housing crisis. Much of the estate was built by direct labour, and it must be said that this estate has stood the test of time very well. Many of the houses are now in private hands, and all are well kept. The estate is pleasant and open, with very few, if any, of the 'tinned-up' houses often found on large council estates elsewhere.
