Clegg Street Railway Warehouse - Oldham, May 2011.

Corporal Clegg St Railway Warehouse.

Visited with Clough(nofowle) on our tour of the West Yorkshire / Greater Manchester border region.

The Park Road, or more correctly Clegg Street, Railway Warehouse at Oldham was built in 1876 and although it often know as the London & North Western Railway warehouse it was actually built by the Oldham, Ashton & Guide Bridge Railway which was jointly owned by the London & North Western and the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (later the Great Central Railway). It was last used in the 1960s and since then has stood empty and becoming increasingly derelict. It owes its survival to the fact of being listed grade 2 on the basis of its unusual curved layout. Over the years there have been many proposals for the re-use of this building but none have succeeded.

Not much left here and we found our ascent further than the first floor scuppered by the fact that someone had kindly removed the wooden staircases.

Here are a couple of photos:

So I hear, there's apparently something underneath it, which is worth digging...

I was in there today 20 mins before it came down. With permission for safety.
I'll be posting pics and a video ( currently on YouTube. ) shot by a bloke I met there. As on phone can't get the link up as yet to paste but full report soon.
