Mecca Bingo & Taj Palace housed in what used to be a co-op, Kings Hall shoe shop to the left & Oldham Council offices looming above - King Street Oldham.
Soz if the pics aren't such good quality btw - I don't know what the fuck I'm doing with a camera.
Some kinda warehouse next to the motorway, Greengate.

As you travel down Oldham Road towards Manchester on the bus you can easily see Jodrell on a clear day and if the telescope is in the right position. It is perfectly framed so it sits in on the horizon exactly where the road disappears down the hill, so I can imagine the view from the top of this building would be great.

Plus, you wouldn't need to wait at the bus stop if you lived in Rowntree, you'd be able to see the bus coming from miles off and just nip down when it started getting close.
The only problem is, I'm sure there's a non negotiable heating charge of about nine pound odd a week.
Motorway bridge, Hollinwood/Chadderton.
British Aerospace, Greengate. Now completely shut down.
White Moss Gardens, White Moss, Manchester.

Understandable - it must cost a fortune to heat that place, as the prevailing wind will whip any heat from the building in seconds, given how exposed it is. It would be like a wind tunnel if you left your windows open!
This gaffe on Hollinwood Avenue used to be a massive engineering works called Ferranti's years ago. Now it houses the Daily Mirror/Evening News.
Most of the tower block/deck access flats in Oldham have fixed heating charges - Eldon St Does, Barker St does, and on St Mary's it used to be £8-something whether you lived in a bedsit or a 3 berth house - Since the flats have gone it's about £20 a week for a house nowadays.

You forgot to include 'glass-strewn' in the description of this bridge! I know it well, and it was a bugger to cycle across for fear of shredding your tyres.
It has those anti-motorbike barriers at one end, and I remember one day cycling along it at speed, and completely forgot about the barriers until I saw them seconds before I would have hit them at full tilt. Definitely an emergency stop!

That sounds steep - and surely it would just encourage people to leave the heating on virtually all the time (except perhaps in the past few weeks) just for the hell of it as it is paid for.
It does - When I lived on St Mary's it felt like a proper imposition, out of a £70 giro, sixteen bucks gone straight away. Mind you, the old timers loved it.
Anyway, one last one
Back of Oldham police station from King Street with the council offices in the background.
I might have to do some more pics tomorrow - We'll have to carve up Gtr Manchester between your turf and my turf.

Sounds like a plan! You have turf rights to Oldham, me the city centre and surrounds, and we can divvy up the remainder between us. I might need to make a trip to Bolton soon as I remember some good bits last time I was there. Still got Trafford Park to do, and if I pluck up the courage, Eccles.
Forgot the Honeywell, next door to Park Cakes. Right, that's definitely goodnight from me now.
