A view from the top of Borough Mill on Nield Street Oldham which, for many years, was the hub of the Remploy’s in house transport operations.
This picture, taken in 1975, shows the busy yard of Remploy’s long gone Oldham depot when the company ran such makes as Bedford, BMC, Ford and Leyland vehicles.
Borough Mill remained empty for many years until 2011 when it was demolished to make way for a new a housing estate bringing an end to another piece of Oldham’s Industrial heritage.
A mosque, one of many in Oldham, already stands in the top left hand corner of the picture, just behind the demountable boxes.
This location is unrecognisable today as the whole area is now housing estate which was built in 2012.
