Land reclamation works have just begun on the 170ha Business Park known as Rochdale Kingsway on the east side of the canal. It won't look like this for long. Photograph taken from SD913126.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Beyond this cycle lane appears the forthcoming JD Sports warehousing and distribution centre, on a bleak autumnal day in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Work began on this rather enormous warehouse in July 2010 on "Plot T" of the Kingsway Business Park. It is certainly 'the' biggest warehouse to be built in North West England in over a decade (and probably the largest to be built in the UK for years), and is set to span 616,000 sq ft. It will serve as a order fulfillment and distribution centre for JD Sports and its subsiduries Scott, Bank and others. Although being promoted as "Rochdale", I think it may actually fall within the historical bounds of Milnrow as it is on the south side of the Rochdale Canal, and thus within the former Milnrow Urban District. Eitherway, it now surely dominates the Rochdale borough as a whole!

Dist:0.2km<br/>I think this small fixed footbridge, which of course would have obstructed navigation, was on the site of the erstwhile Boggart Lane Swing Bridge.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This minor bridge, having been fixed for years, was restored as a swing bridge for the re-opening of the canal in 2002.
