Animal shelter makes way for Mumps rebirth

GOING . . . demolition workers get to work on the final RSPCA building on the Rhodes Bank site

THE demolition of Oldham’s RSPCA centre is part of a new chapter for the Mumps end of Oldham.

The charity’s Rhodes Bank shelter, has come crashing down in favour of commerical regeneration while the charity gains a new home at Strinesdale.

Developers are preparing to transform the Mumps area with retail and residential buildings which will be known as Prince’s Gate, set to open in 2017.
