Viewed from Hill Top Drive the closed Hill Top School appears unusually busy. The television/film equipment is part of the presence of the BBC who currently use the school as a film set for the school drama 'Waterloo Road'.

Kirkholt: Arkwright Way
The large Kirkholt Estate was Rochdale Corporation's answer to the post-WWII housing crisis. Much of the estate was built by direct labour, and it must be said that this estate has stood the test of time very well. Many of the houses are now in private hands, and all are well kept. The estate is pleasant and open, with very few, if any, of the 'tinned-up' houses often found on large council estates elsewhere.

Kirkholt:Balderstone Road
Looking west. Balderstone Road is served by the No 6 bus route from Rochdale Town Centre, which performs an elaborate one-way loop, crossing itself in one place, back to Rochdale centre. By the way, that is not my car parked illegally on the pavement in the photograph. I got there by bus!
