Staveleigh Clinic, Old Street, Stalybridge: opening in 1965, the Stalybridge health centre had imposing views of the River Tame. Entry was gained from the top of Market Street, or by means of a second entrance from Old Street. Today, the clinic has moved to a new site on Waterloo Road adjacent to the bus station. This opened in 2008 with the older one lying derelict as seen today.
Shortly after its move, the clinic was struck by a small fire.
Melbourne Street, Stalybridge: the shops on the left and right of the image formed part of a redevelopment scheme for the Grosvenor Street and Melbourne Street junction in the late 1960s. Where Sinclair’s is seen on the right, the first floor taken by the night club was originally offices for the DHSS. Out of shot is today’s Superdrug store, which opened initially as Maypole Dairy, then Liptons, Lo Cost, Lloyds Supersave and Savers.
