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

Linden Mills, Castleton
OS mapping shows that this was the first mill to be built in Castleton, dating from the 1840s or earlier. This building was the weaving shed and the style indicates that it dates from probably the early years of the 20th century. It is the last remaining element of the cotton manufacturing life of the mill which now houses a firm which manufactures paper and board products for industrial packaging. It has grade 2 local interest listed status.

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.
