Former Castleton Branch Library, Rochdale Road
Re-purposed as business premises and re-opened in 2019. It also contains a meeting room - formerly the reading room - run by the Friends of Carnegie (Castleton) who campaigned for the refurbishment of the building following its closure as a library in 2007.
The library was built in 1905, architect Jesse Horsfall, with a donation of £2,500 from Andrew Carnegie. The restoration was carried out through the co-operation of Nick Crewe of Crewe Industrial Services, local property owners and engineers.

On Death Row
Time is running out for this sad Tesco trolley as it awaits its inevitable end. It will soon go the way of thousands of its kinsmen - to a watery grave in the stinking sludge beneath an urban canal. This one is resigned to its fate on the Rochdale Canal near Castleton. "Only the coming of the next Ice Age will save me now" it sobbed. Clutching at straws I thought as I strolled along the towpath.
