College Bank: The Seven Sisters 

 

An ongoing project which documents the lived and social histories of the College Bank buildings in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. ​Known locally as ‘The Seven Sisters’, College Bank is formed of seven high-rise social housing blocks, four of which have come under recent threat of demolition. 

​

Drawing from found imagery and photographs taken by my late Grandfather - M J Burgess - who, like me grew up in Rochdale, I’ve been working with past and present residents, to create a collective record of life in and around College Bank. 

​

This project is ongoing. If anyone wishes to share their stories of College Bank please do get in touch.
