Oldham Street runs from Church Street to Corporation Street. It is a mixture of small business properties and terraced houses.
To stop it being used as a "rat-run", parts of it are one-way and speed-humps (a.k.a. sleeping policemen) are used as traffic-calming measures.
The Town Hall is visible at the bottom.

ReplyDeleteOur council seems on a mission to put sleeping policemen everywhere. At least on this long straight street there is a purpose behind them.
