Colby Street (East side), Rochdale, Lancashire
During 1979, the demolition of a large area of terrace houses south east of Rochdale station was being progressed. This is - or was - Colby Street, with its T-junction with Hare Street just beyond the block under demolition, and Equitable Street further on.
