English: Pioneers Street and Grove Mill, Rochdale, Lancashire
Grove Mill (cotton) is seen in the background, and the street in front of it is Pioneers Street, which was actually laid out with front gardens and only a narrow made way between them. The next street to the right is Equitable Street, laid out in the same way. The houses on the south side of Equitable Street (only just visible here) are larger than their neighbours across the road, or the ones in Pioneers Street. The two streets make T-junctions with Hare Street, running across the photo from left to right. Behind Equitable Street, the engine-house tower of Crossfield Mill (cotton waste) is just visible. The photograph was taken from the disused Up platform of Rochdale station, which has now been removed.
