Dist:0.4km<br/>Houses at Glodwick Brook, adjacent to Alexandra Park, Oldham. The road bends sharply to the left, away from these houses as it crosses the old railway bridge. A dangerous blind spot for drivers.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The neat clubhouse contains (from left to right), tearoom; scorebox/scoreboard; player's changing rooms; umpire's changing room. Players are practising before a junior match.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Telephoto view of the tower. This would almost certainly originally have had a cupola. The mill to which it is attached is being demolished, but the tower carries cellphone transmitters so may survive.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The demolition contractors are in and working on No.2 mill.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The view along Groby Street. Much the same as Chris Allen's view from 2006 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/216528 but there is more fencing, the blue paint has been replaced and the brickwork cleaned up. The nearer building is an extension to No.2 mill, still in occupation while the further building, with tower, is No.2 mill, currently due for demolition.

Dist:0.4km<br/>I aim to tell it how it is! This is a large complex ranging from 1881 to 1914. A large part of the complex has been very severely knocked about and is in some decrepitude. There are no chimneys left. The building extreme left is Maple No. 2 (q.v.). The rubbish along this stretch of road is of amazing proportions.
