Just bobbing around yesterday and after a few disappointing reccies this place reared its kinda beautiful head. I figure that all of the undergrowth has been cut back as part of the remedial works for the new Metrolink that is coming into Rochdale. In the absence of doing any ‘research’ on this site I think it is safe to assume that the underpass once formed a link beneath the tracks and that the stairs served a long since closed second line that would have run along the raised viaduct. Someone in their wisdom would have closed the track and deciding that the underpass was difficult to manage agreed to the bricking up of the entrance to force passengers to enter and exit through one place where they could be easily ‘managed’. Some reasonable quality Victoriana still in-situ and some graffiti-archaeology to be had too! Another iPhone explore brought to you in conjunction with 4S and AutoStitch (the algorithms on it are better than P'Shop)...
