I want a 'Stunning pics of the North' thread as people south of Crewe often think they are superior and 121 pages of derelict phone boxes may not be changing that viewpoint

Good idea - all of those southerners will be thinking the North is a total dump.
Oldham Parish Church.
New York or Oldham? Oldham.
Steps next to the church.
Stone setts next to the church.

Tram works at Mumps - It's because of this that the iconic "Welcome to Oldham - Home of the Tubular Bandage" bridge is no longer there.

Its what the bus drivers do with the bus after they been in the bar before a shift.
A good crop of pics there Frances Lengel
I think now Autumn is here it'll lend its own effect on mundane photos and make them look that little bit more depressing.

Frances Lengel Is that shopping arcade off Yorkshire Street in Oldham? I had an office above a shop on Yorkshire Street for about 5 years in the mid 90's and I never came across that arcade

The old street sign Frances Lengel posted in #3635 reminds me that I spotted on in town recently, but with a new street name right next to the old. Will have to take a picture and post it.

this is no longer a place of honour
Some feckin' sterling work there Frances. I was born in that there Oldham and worked and drank and etc'd there for the first 25 years of my life. Some very familiar scenes for me. Your first photo, with the church at the end of the cobbles is taken from more or less the exact spot I used to stand on when having a fag instead of working when I was employed by the bank (we can't see) to frances' right.

It is that arcade, the shops are all shut now (long time ago). I think it is called High St when you are that far up.
Do you mean the arcade that had a newsagent cabin thing at one end and and a record shop in the middle?
I don't know the arcade, that's my point
When I worked out of an office in Oldham, which was above a shop near the bottom end of Yorkshire Street, I had no idea that arcade was there. I didn't go into town much but I would have walked up Yorkshire Street once or twice a month maybe but never spotted the arcade

Ah right. The arcade was past Barclays, past Max Spielmanns, on your right but before you got to the Yorkshire Bank and Littlewoods etc.
It runs through from High St to the Market Hall/Tommyfield Market
