Blue Pit Mill, Queensway, Rochdale
Former cotton spinning mill, now converted to office space. Blue Pits (sic) was one of the earliest mills in the area, dating from the mid/late 19th century, but this building is a later development, probably from the first decade of the 20th century.

Blue Pit Mill, Castleton
The name comes from Bluepits/Blue Pits, an old name for this part of Castleton, resulting from the blue clay that was quarried in the area. As Blue Pits Mill, it was one of the earliest mills in the area, but older buildings have all been demolished leaving just this early 20th century building, now converted to small business units.

Old Lock, Rochdale Canal
This former lock on the Rochdale Canal near Castleton, Rochdale, is no longer used as a lock and the canal passes straight through. The level of the canal south of the lock was raised to connect to a diverted route passing though a tunnel below the M62 motorway. A new lock was constructed on the other side of the motorway, see Image
