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

The Cenotaph and Memorial Gardens, Rochdale, Lancashire
In this 1968 photograph, at first sight it seems as though there is little change since 1966, but the new ring road has been constructed behind the Salvation Army citadel and is open for traffic.
