Royton Hall Park, Royton. Stair door. Stavely Walk. Travis Court. Ground floor gardens.
Tractor in High Crompton.
High Crompton pigeons.
High Crompton rusty, overgrown gate. There's loads of these when you look.
Who was it needed a laundry basket? High Crompton/Thornham.
Royton Sands. The Fivepenny Piece did a song about this place.
Rochdale from Royton sands. Those seven white buildings are the town flats.

Not sure what they're called but they were the famous flats overlooking Sheffield which I believe have now gone.
Oldham bus station.
Barker St estate. Another one where they only give the blocks one word names.
More Barker St.
Other side of the block in the pic before this one.

The bloke walking away from you is more or less outside his old house

Low rise flats on Dam Head. A lot of these blocks had malevolent spirits living in the ground floor pad next to the entrance. Which is why this one's bricked up.
Another one bricked up.
Patriotic bin.
Nobody wants the flat near the door.
Dam Head supermarket.
Rooftops.
Not much left of Booth Hall hospital.
Booth Hall gatehouse.

That is what I believe they call a 'shopping destination'.
Ordsall in Salford had a run down little district centre so I wonder if they've done it up since I used to be able to see it out of our office window in the Quays? I'm not going back to check as the estate is a bit scary - we regularly used to see houses and cars being torched from our office when I worked there!

I'm planning on taking in some of the sights of Salford sometime in the nearish future.

More (very) old pics
Middlesbrough town centre. That white building is on the main shopping street
The twin-domed building in the centre is where I spent every Friday night for about 3 years. And I used to go to that bar in the foreground which is now Barracuda as my 'starting pub'. It was called something else then but I can't remember what. Cleveland hills in the distance.
The town hall on the left; the then tallest building in boro on the right - A call centre.
More of the same but the A19 flyover in the far right distance crossing the Tees.
The Newport Bridge and looking West towards Darlington and Stockton.
Similar shot to earlier but you can see the Town Hall now the light has fallen on it. It was based on the Houses of Parliament apparently, and it's a nice building. One of the few in boro.
Almost the same shot again, but this time the light means the hill are more visible. You can just about make out Roseberry Topping - the highest point around and an interesting geological curiosity as it had its shaped changed after a mining tunnel collapse last century.
I saw a beautiful shot of it by some professional photographer once. I'll go have a look for it now.

It always struck me as a great shame that they allowed that tower block to built over the road from it - a shame to put something like that next to a nice building.

It is a shame, but luckily the back of the Town Hall is lovely now and a huge open space. Have you been since they built the art gallery?

True - the open space is good, and I guess the old library is still there. The Mags Court was a dump though. I've not been to the Boro since 2007 (I think), and that was for my dad's funeral so I obviously wasn't sightseeing!
Bench on Charlestown Rd, White Moss. I can't remember this not being there which makes it at least 40 years old.
Top Derby Factory Lane/Rochdale Rd Harpurhey.
Kesteven Rd, Harpurhey.
Kesteven Rd maisonettes & houses.
Kingsbridge Rd & Kingsbridge Court.
Kingsbridge Rd houses.
Shiredale estate, Harpurhey.
Shiredale again.
Further Shiredale - The council wanted to demolish this place a few years back but the residents mounted a successful campaign to keep it.
Jolly Miller estate. There's three estates in this immediate area called the Shiredale, Jolly Miller and the Two Hundred - All named after the pubs that serve them. It'd have been better if I'd got pictures of each of those pubs but I never thought of that. 
More Jolly Millingtons.
Conran St Market.
Houses in Moston, somewhere off Ashley Lane.
Clito St, Moston. I think. Should've got a picture of the sign really coz if you're a moron like me, Clito St is an amusing name.
St Dunstan's church, Moston.
The Museum pub, now a greengrocers.
The Ben Brierley - One time HQ of the infamous Ben Mob. Now a CAB.
Clough House, White Moss. The communal entrances didn't used to have those uPVC effforts in them. They looked better but from a security POV, open access stairwells aren't really the ticket.Similar threads
