ROCHDALE

LANCASHIRE

 Rochdale is situated about 12 miles north of the Centre of Manchester and is on the edge of the picturesque Pennine Hills. It was the birth place of the Co-operative Movement in 1844 and was known world wide as a town for weaving cotton.
Rochdale today has much to attract both visitors and people living in the area: History, Commerce, Industry, The Hills and Countryside and Tourism.
This site is intended to give the new viewer an idea of Rochdale and to bring back memories to "ex-pats". Since my site was put on the internet I have received many comments and emails from ex-pats all over the world. This has given me much pleasure and encouragement. Please keep them coming.
As an enthusiastic photographer living in Rochdale I am always interested to hear from "ex-pats" as to what photographs and text they would like to see on these pages.
