Dist:0.2km<br/>From left to right are numbers 456 to 452 Oldham Road, which are terraced properties lining the A671 in the Balderstone area of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Such red-brick properties are common throughout both Rochdale and Greater Manchester. Number 452 Oldham Road is boarded up in this photograph - it was formerly the Royal Hotel, a public house which has clearly closed for business.
