Castleton Hotel
This used to be the South East Lancs Area Office of NatWest Bank about 30 years ago until internal reorganisation meant that they didn't need it any more. There is a bowling green on the other side of the wall on the right.

Rochdale Canal Lock#53 (Blue Pits New Lock)
Before the construction of the M62, the original lock#53 was further north (on the other side of the motorway) where the canal dropped 9 feet. Following the construction of the M62, the old lock was abandoned and the canal was allowed to stay level, diverted under the motorway via a new channel. The new lock 53 (Blue Pits New Lock) was then constructed to the south of the motorway (see http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/rochdale/rc54.htm for more details).

Bridge 65a
Rochdale Canal, just below Blue Pits New Lock. This was constructed to allow the canal to pass under the M62 which was built over the canal which was at the time abandoned and without prospect of restoration. The new line of the canal uses a culvert which was part of the original motorway embankment.
