Rochdale: The 'Wellington' hotel
Closed and rapidly deteriorating, the 'Wellington', probably Rochdale's oldest pub, stands at the bottom of Drake Street to view a scene of untidy confusion as tram lines are laid leading from Drake Street into the new terminus which will be on Smith Street. Rochdale's residents are heartily fed up with the seemingly incessant tram works; one hopes they will, one day, think it has all been worthwhile.

Rochdale: The 'Wellington Hotel'
It is pleasing to see that the Wellington (one of the oldest public houses in Rochdale) has had a start made on its revival. Although still closed, this does appear to suggest that it might be re-opened.

Metrolink Tram on Drake Street
Metrolink Bombardier tram 3049 climbs the hill at Drake Street on the day that a tram service ran into the town centre for the first time in 80 years (http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/rochdales-first-passenger-tram-80-6897266 Manchester Evening News). This section of tramway is single-track, with the opposite side of the road designated as a bus lane.

Rochdale Drake Street
Looking south, with Metrolink works in full swing. The road is presently closed from this point as far as the Water Street junction, and buses are using Molesworth Street to access the Oldham and Milnrow Road routes. At the far left, the 'Wellington', arguably theoldest public house in Rochdale, is closed and rapidly becoming derelict, after a period during which it was a night club.
