Subsidence on Tanners Street

This large supporting wall at the junction of Tanners Street and Rostron Street in Ramsbottom started to subside in March 2007. Set back above the wall on top of the embankment are a row of cottages. As you can see from the picture the stone wall is in danger of collapse after splitting from top to bottom and there is the prospect that this could a major job to put right on what is a busy road at peak times.
