Coptrod Farm, Rochdale, Lancashire
Incredibly, in 1956, one could still photograph this rural scene within one mile of Rochdale Town Centre.
Note added 12 August 2013: Today I received an email from Mrs Judith Harding, who was living as a one-year old baby in the next cottage when this photograph was taken, informing me of the identity of the man shown: He was George Hodgkinson, known locally as Juddy Ockey.

Weir on River Spodden, Rochdale
At the west end of Holmes Street. On the far side of the Spodden here was the electric tram depot of Rochdale Corporation, newly built for when electric cars replaced the former steam cars. Later it was a bus depot and survived into the PTE era, but has now been demolished and the site has other commercial uses.
