Green Space


A new area of green space has appeared in the West End of Ashton with the creation of this square containing a small public park at the junction of Rycroft Street and Cambridge Street. This was part of the regeneration of the area. Ryecroft Mill is seen in the background.

  1. The houses that they demolished to build the pocket park were built around 1900, The houses in the photo where built around 60 years earlier, around 1839. Renewing the newest!!!
