Former Failsworth Driving Test Centre
Located at 2 Partington Street M35 9RD, this driving test centre covers practical driving tests for cars, motorcycles and taxis along nearby roads. It is perhaps rather unfortunate that this DTC doesn't have a more prepossessing appearance with the window coverings being rather prominent to candidates as they arrive there to take their tests. The notice near the entrance refers to DSA (Driving Standards Agency) Safe Driving For Life. Update: this DTC closed on Friday 15th September 2017.

Triangular house on Main Street, Failsworth, dated 1895
I do not know why this house is triangular and has such an elaborate date perched above its shortest side. There is no indication of a former use such as a Co-op. It may simply have had to fit into a certain available space.
