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of Rochdale had become a rather cleaner place, probably because most of the steam locomotives on the nearby railway had been replaced by diesels.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.

Rochdale: 146 Vine Place
Almost all the property on this patch of ground just west of Milkstone Road and south of the railway was demolished over 50 years ago, and there has been a large amount of new building. But the group of properties shown here survives from the late Victorian era. It includes, on the extreme left, a house whose address is 146, Vine Place. The number is still proudly displayed on the door, even though every other house in Vine Place had vanished before 1950.

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'.

Rochdale: Remains of a urinal, Milkstone Road
This urinal stood next to the bridge carrying the railway over Milkstone Road. It was almost opposite the Brown Cow, and was very useful to passengers walking to or from the back entrance of the station. The steps served a footpath leading to Riley's Spring Works; whether this path is still patent I am not aware.
