Preparation for Metrolink
At the north end of Rochdale station work is underway associated with the downgrading of the former Oldham loop railway to a Metrolink tram line. To enable the trams to access Rochdale's town centre, the tram line must cross the railway using an acutely skewed bridge which is visible in the background. Space and cost limitations mean that the new tramway will only be a single line between Kingsway and Rochdale station. The line will lead to demolition of Rochdale signalbox (seen left). The tramway bridge's specification calls for "natural steel", also known as unpainted or rust! Whether these extensive and very expensive works, plus associated tasks will be money wisely spent, compared to a simple bus shuttle into Rochdale from its station, time alone will tell.

Florence Street Electricity Sub-station
Not the prettiest sub-station in Rochdale, but the walls serve a purpose.

View towards Moss Upper Lock No 49, Rochdale Canal
The mill on the immediate left is Crossfield Mill (cotton waste), and the next one on that side is Morning Side Mill (woollen), which is the owner of the chimney. Just past the lock is Albert Mill (cotton waste). The footbridge this side of the lock is a modern addition. On the right, the Royds Street Arm went off, but much of this had been filled in, by the time of the photograph, by the simple expedient of dumping rubbish into it.
