Baptist Church, Overt Street, Deeplish, Rochdale Lancashire.
Unlike many smaller nonconformist churches, which have 'gone under', this one is still holding its own in an area mainly occupied by people of New Commonwealth origin.

Rochdale: Shops on Milkstone Road
This parade of local shops is beginning to suffer from closures as out-of-town shopping with the car takes away more and more trade. At the far left hand en is seen what once was the 'Brown Cow' public house - now itself closed and converted into a 'minimart'.

Shopping parade, Milkstone Road, Rochdale, Lancashire
It's 1955, and a plume of smoke rises from a locomotive on Rochdale station as an office worker makes his way home across waste ground on the corner of Ashfield Road and Milkstone Road. Also visible on the extreme left is the Brown Cow public house.

Shopping parade, Milkstone Road, Rochdale, Lancashire
By the time of this photograph in 1964, this part of Rochdale had become a rather cleaner place, probably because most of the steam locomotives on the nearby railway had been replaced by diesels. The Brown Cow public house is seen here on the extreme left.

Rag and Bone Man, Miall Street, Rochdale, Lancashire
Rag and bone men are no longer seen in Rochdale but in the 1950's they were common. Most had just handcarts with wheels recovered from old mangles - only the more 'aristocratic' men had any kind of horse or donkey. Here a typical rag and bone man is seen in Miall Street, a long and dismal street that ran (and still does) behind the railway station.
