Secrets of Rochdale town centre 2025
10am Saturday 31 May
'Here all is completely different from Lancashire towns, and indeed all English towns. The town hall lies surrounded by public gardens on three sides and the church lies up a steep bank, and the bank is also a public garden. So the centre is green and pleasant.’
Thus wrote the great guru of British architecture of the second half of the twentieth century, Nikolaus Pevsner. On this tour we'll assess the truth of that statement while also discovering some other sites (and sights) of this fascinating town with its rich story and absorbing individuals.
