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.

Derker railway station was a station on the Oldham Loop Line, and was managed by Northern Rail at the time of closure in 2009. It was originally opened on 30 August 1985 to replace Royton Junction station, ½ mile further along the line.
The station closed on 3 October 2009 for the conversion of the line to Metrolink and will re-open as Derker Metrolink station in 2012.
