Shops at Ryder Brow
Opposite Ryder Brow station are a group of shops including an off-licence that appears to be both a Premier store and a Raja Bros store which I'd always thought were separate franchises. Also there is an Internet Cafe, a launderette and an Afro-Caribbean food and spice shop.
Streetview imagery from 2008 shows the internet cafe as a vacant property, the launderette as an off-licence and the end shop as being a part of the Manchester College of Customised Studies. By 2011 the college had closed. The cafe and Afro-Caribbean shop had opened by 2014 but the launderette not until 2016.

Reddish Loco Depot
Rows of class 76 1500v DC electric locomotives stand beside the depot buildings. Built for the Woodhead route in the early 1950's, the decision in the late 1950's to go for 25Kv AC traction on future electrifications made them obsolescent overnight. The Woodhead route closed in 1981 and the class were withdrawn en-masse in July of that year.
