College Bank Rochdale
This picture shows just three of the seven blocks of flats at College Bank Rochdale.
These tower blocks known locally as "The Seven Sisters" consist of four tower blocks 21 storeys high and three tower blocks 17 storeys high and provide 761 homes.
The tower blocks took two years to build between 1963 and 1965 and today more than 40 years after receiving their first tenants, the Seven Sisters are still a big part of Rochdale's housing programme.
Many blocks of flats erected during the 1960s have now been demolished, but "The Seven Sisters" are still standing and still in good health - a success story which fully justified their building all those years ago.

Solar panels have recently been erected on top of each tower block to run the lights in the buildings communal areas http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/4337534.stm

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.
