Oldham's "parcels concentration depot" in 1978, with an Oldham-Manchester train passing Oldham Mumps signalbox. Of the railway features and land in the photo, only the two foreground lines survive, plus the signalbox, surrounded on all sides by redevelopment. The depot is now the site of a retail park.
