Rochdale is a proud working class town on the outskirts of the Greater Manchester area. Established as a successful town upon the growth of the wooden trade, the town suffered when its principal industry declined in the mid 20th century. This led to an onsite of much decline and poverty. Several social housing estates were built in the town in the 1960's onwards to house the low income population. The Seven Sisters towers are the most notorious of these estates. They have a reputation for being under maintained and a hotspot for drugs and crime. Recently the operating housing authority enacted a scheme to demolish four of the seven towers, met with much opposition by the residents that remain. My old mate Jack is from the area, and invited me to investigate Rochdale's notorious deprived estates.
