Rochdale Road & Sudell Street



This rather grand but disheveled building on the corner of Rochdale Road and Sudell Street in Collyhurst is, in March of 2011,  clearly boarded up and unoccupied.  The red-brick and terracotta structure appears to be truncated.



Further investigation showed this to be true.  An image in the collection of the Manchester Central Library (see link below) shows a row of tenements on Rochdale with shops at street level near the corner with Sudell Street.

It can still be seen in the aerial photograph, below dated 1953.
