New apartments on Knowl Street, which runs at the side of the Huddersfield Canal. I’d like one of these myself, but with the canal on one side and the river Tame on the other. All we need is one flash flood…

Oldham, Market building

Oldham market hall known as Tommyfield Market.
Actually this is the new market hall built in 1990 as the old one burnt down in 1974.
This market hall is the fourth to be built on the same site. The first was built in 1788.

There will be questions later.
