Penn Street, Rochdale, Lancashire
In the drastic rebuilding of Rochdale that went on in the 1970s many old streets would disappear or be changed out of all recognition. This is Penn Street, a steep hill that connected Baillie Street to the top part of Yorkshire Street.

Double postbox and more on Yorkshire Street
The top end of Yorkshire is not pedestrianised. The double postbox (OL16 31) is outside the former Townhead Post Office. Why it is surrounded by pieces of blue foam I cannot say. On the opposite side are a cafe, Cash Converters, a property management company and a hair salon.

Image Since the 1978 photograph, new building has obscured most of the older view, and only the building in the centre, now converted to a pub as 'The Springers' serves to link this with the earlier view.

Towards Townhead Mill, Rochdale, Lancashire
Looking north-east from the roof of the car park, the skyline is dominated by the chimney and engine house of Townhead Mill. The more modern metal chimney to the left belongs to Holcroft Engineering. In the middle distance, Penn Street climbs from Baillie Street to Yorkshire Street, with Penn Street School a prominent feature.
