Directions from Castleton to our Rochdale base
Castleton lines Manchester Road as you leave Rochdale towards Heywood. Terraces face the main road, and side streets run back towards the station and the canal. Few of those side streets were built for a large van, and cars already sit on both kerbs. The drive from Swain Street comes south through town, then out along this road.
Railway Approach and a home match at the Crown Oil Arena are the two calendars to check. Tell us if the house is a through-terrace with a rear alley, because that is often a better carry than the front on Manchester Road. Flats above shops need the floor and the stair width before we set off.
See house removals for a full home and man and van when the load is a few rooms. Nearby: Kirkholt and Heywood. Rochdale removals comes from Swain Street, not from the station yard.
Insurance is provided. Leave the station car park for passengers.
