Local area guide
Skip hire in Rochdale
Rochdale is a town in Greater Manchester, sitting in the Roch valley on the edge of the Pennines around ten miles north of Manchester, with a population of around 110,000. It was a wool and later cotton town, and by the nineteenth century it was one of the most heavily industrialised places in Lancashire, with mills packed along the river and the Rochdale Canal.
Rochdale's greatest claim on world history is the Co-operative movement. In December 1844 twenty-eight weavers and tradesmen opened a small shop at 31 Toad Lane selling butter, sugar, flour and oatmeal, and did so under a written set of principles — open membership, democratic control, one member one vote, and the distribution of surplus as a dividend on purchases. The Rochdale Principles became the foundation of co-operative organisations worldwide, and the movement now has around a billion members globally. The original shop survives as the Rochdale Pioneers Museum, a place of pilgrimage for co-operators from every continent.
The town produced two major political figures. John Bright, the Quaker radical and orator, was born in Rochdale in 1811 and led the Anti-Corn Law League with Richard Cobden, campaigning for free trade, parliamentary reform and against the Crimean War; his statue stands in the town. Gracie Fields, the most popular British entertainer of the 1930s, was born above a fish and chip shop in Rochdale in 1898 and never lost her identification with the town.
Rochdale Town Hall, completed in 1871, is among the finest Victorian Gothic buildings in Britain — Hitler is said to have admired it enough to plan its relocation to Germany, a story of doubtful provenance but persistent local currency. The Rochdale Canal, reopened in full in 2002, crosses the Pennines through the highest broad canal summit in England, and Hollingworth Lake and the moors above Littleborough give the town its setting.
Rochdale sits close to the M62, with the Metrolink tram running to Manchester and Rochdale station giving services to Manchester and Leeds. Housing is dominated by stone and brick terraces built for the mill workforce, alongside mill owners' villas at Bamford and Norden, interwar semis, extensive post-war estates at Kirkholt and Freehold, and modern development on former mill land, with property among the more affordable in Greater Manchester.
