Oldham railway parcels depot 1978
Oldham's "parcels concentration depot" in 1978, with an Oldham-Manchester train passing Oldham Mumps signalbox. Of the railway features and land in the photo, only the two foreground lines survive, plus the signalbox, surrounded on all sides by redevelopment. The depot is now the site of a retail park. Oldham by-pass to the right.

Oldham Mumps signalbox and former parcels depot 1989
Looking from the Oldham bypass, railway land is fast being reclaimed by light industrial uses. The former parcels collection depot site featured ELS' furniture store by 1989.

Oldham parcels depot
This extremely large depot was constructed in the early 1960s as part of a UK-wide plan to concentrate railway parcels traffic on a small number of purpose-built, conceptually high-efficiency depots. The plan failed due to road transport's inherent advantages of flexibility and point-to-point efficiency. Oldham's depot was still operational into the late 1970s, but no trace now remains of it, redevelopment having comprehensively changed the area. Oldham Mumps signalbox remains, but is hemmed in by new development.

Waterloo Street bridges
The higher bridge carries the Oldham Way (A62) round the town centre. The lower bridge carries - just for a few days more - the Metrolink tram line, formerly the ex-Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway line from Manchester to Rochdale via Oldham. The empty abutments carried the parallel Great Central and London and North Western Railways' joint line with links to Ashton-under-Lyne and Greenfield. The footbridge from which the view is taken is on the site of yet another bridge which carried railway sidings.
