Keswick Street - Castleton Moor Cricket Club
The picture shows the housing development on the Keswick Street ground of Castleton Moor Cricket Club who used to play in the Central Lancashire League.
As the cricket club struggled into the 1980's, Mayfield Amateur Rugby League Club became partners in the ground but when the cricket folded in 1987, it passed to them. In 2005, Mayfield sold the ground for housing and moved into the nearby Butterworth Park to ground-share with Castleton Gabriels FC.
The old cricket pavilion was on a slope to the left of the photograph and the extension to Keswick Street passes right over the old cricket square.

Directors' Arms, Castleton, Rochdale, Lancashire
A pub with a unique name, which arose from its use by the Directors of the nearby Manchester and Leeds Railway for their meetings. The directors are represented by the fine, though faded now, sign on the end wall. The future for this pub does not look good - at the time of the photograph it was empty and for sale.

Public Swimming Baths, Castleton, Rochdale, Lancashire
In former days, local authorities took their responsibilities very seriously and were always striving to improve the environment for their residents. This fine Public Baths building was constructed by the Borough of Rochdale shortly after the Urban District of Castleton had been absorbed into Rochdale, (the actual date of this being 9 April 1900) and are still in use, having provided recreational facilities for many thousands of working-class people over the years.
