Miall Street, Rochdale
Miall Street runs parallel to the railway on the south side of Rochdale Station. Since Dr Neil Clifton's 1955 photograph http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/192836 terraced housing has been cleared, the road metalled and cars have claimed the street.

Rochdale station
When I left school and started work the next day at Rochdale station, there were four main platforms and four bay platforms. A staff of some eighty men and one woman booked on each day - and that was excluding non-station based staff such as the guards and the female carriage cleaners. Looking at it now, it almost makes you doubt the sanity of mankind.

Terminal platform, Rochdale station
Rochdale station was once a significant interchange with up to eight platforms. In recent years it had four - these two terminal platforms for the Manchester via Oldham service, and a through platform either side for the direct service to Manchester (and the other way to Leeds and Blackburn). Since the Oldham loop service was converted to tram operation, with trams taking a new line into the town centre, one of these terminal platforms lost its track, and the remaining one is only used for occasional terminating services to/from Leeds.
