Acre Lane, Oldham
Terraced houses on Acre Lane, in the Derker area of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England.
Located northeast of Oldham town centre, Derker is composed of a mixture of industrial, semi-industrial and residential properties. Its housing stock - mostly Victorian and Edwardian era red-brick terraces - was identified by the Housing Market Renewal scheme as unsuitable for human habitation in around the year 2000, and was earmarked for a vast demolition and gentrification project, particularly as Derker railway station was to become a Metrolink station. The late-2000s financial crisis brought the scheme to an end and properties like those on Acre Lane have sadly remained boarded-up, derelict and abandoned.
