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.

456 to 452 Oldham Road, Rochdale
From left to right are numbers 456 to 452 Oldham Road, which are terraced properties lining the A671 in the Balderstone area of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Such red-brick properties are common throughout both Rochdale and Greater Manchester. Number 452 Oldham Road is boarded up in this photograph - it was formerly the Royal Hotel, a public house which has clearly closed for business.
