College Bank, also known as the Seven Sisters, is a notable group of seven residential tower blocks in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, built in the 1960s as part of a post-war urban regeneration project. These towers, which stand prominently in the town's skyline, were designed to provide modern housing for working-class families, featuring a mix of two-bedroom flats and bedsits. Despite their initial success, the towers have faced significant challenges, including structural deterioration and safety concerns, leading to plans for evacuation and uncertainty about their future. The estate's history reflects broader themes of urban renewal and the complexities of housing policy, making it a point of interest for tourists and researchers alike. Visitors can explore the architectural features of these mid-20th-century structures and engage with the ongoing discussions surrounding their fate.
