Hi Folks, Just to say that Oldham Royal and Crumpsall Hospital (now called North Manchester General) are miles apart and different Rochdale Roads in Greater Manchester. Also,Crumpsall isn't directly on Rochdale Road, but a couple of miles "off" it.

Working you way down Rochdale Road, 172 would have been fairly close to town, it may have been Crumpsall Hospital - but not sure.
