Rochdale
1913 6-inch map extract of Rochdale showing the station and Facit Junction where the line to Bacup headed north and the line to Oldham diverged south eastwards. The Bacup line closed to passengers in 1947 but goods trains to Facit ran until 1967. The Oldham Loop carried passenger trains until 2009, when converted to Metrolink. Also shown is a branch of the Rochdale Canal, little used after the 1920s and now filled in, passing under the line by the station towards a town centre basin.
