Rear of Eleanor Street Oldham
Much of Oldham's housing stock consists of two-up-two-down Victorian era Accrington red-brick terraced houses in a row formation, built
for the most part from 1870 to 1920, to house the town's cotton mill workers.
A fine example is seen here which shows the back lane to Eleanor Street with the Werneth Ring Mill overshadowing the near by terraced houses.

Osborne Mills
The courtyard showing the two engine houses. The further one is the older, but in latter days had the more modern engine. Very unusually this was a steam turbine, almost certainly replacing an earlier engine. The nearer (Mill No.2) housed a 1500 hp Hicks Hargreave cross-compound engine of 1913.
