Rochdale Area

Rochdale Information

Rochdale was over the years a part of Lancashire, Rochdale's documented historical past starts with an admission in the Domesday Book of 1086 under Recedham Manor. The old parish of Rochdale was a section of the 100 of Salford and one of the biggest ecclesiastical parishes in England composed of several townships. By 1251, Rochdale had transformed into significant enough to have been given a Royal charter. Ultimately, Rochdale blossomed into the heart of northern England's woollen trade, and by the early 18th century was outlined as being "amazing for numerous rich traders".

Rochdale rose to importance during the course of the 19th century as a significant mill town and centre for textile manufacturing during the Industrial Revolution. It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and among the very first ever industrialised towns. The Rochdale Canal one of the significant traversable broad canals of the United Kingdom was a highway of business during this time utilized for the transportation of cotton, wool, coal to and from the region. The socioeconomic update brought by the achievements of Rochdale's textile industry in the 19th century added to its rise to borough status and it stayed a dominating settlement in its region. Nevertheless, during the course of the 20th century Rochdale's spinning capability declined towards an ultimate halt.

Rochdale Town Hall is a Victorian public building "widely recognised as being one of the finest public buildings in the country". The Grade I listed building is the ceremonial head office of Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council and accomodates local government departments, including the borough's civil registration office. Constructed in the Gothic Revival style it was inaugurated on 27 September 1871. The architect, William Henry Crossland, won a competition held in 1864. The town hall had a 240-foot (73 m) clock tower topped by a wooden spire with a gilded statue of Saint George and the Dragon which were damaged by fire on 10 April 1883. A new 191-foot (58 m) stone clock tower and spire in the style of Manchester Town Hall was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, and built in 1888. Art critic Nikolaus Pevsner outlined the building as having a "rare picturesque beauty". Its stained glass windows, some designed by William Morris, are acknowledged as "the finest modern examples of their kind". The building came to the attention of Adolf Hitler who was said to have admired it so much that he wished to ship the building, brick-by-brick, to Nazi Germany had the United Kingdom been defeated in World War II.

Rochdale Transport

Rail and Metrolink

Demand from the cross-Pennine trade to support local cotton, wool and silk industries led to the building of the Manchester and Leeds Railway which opened in 1839 from Manchester to Littleborough, and from Normanton to Hebden Bridge in 1840. The linking section opened on completion of the Summit Tunnel in 1841. Rochdale railway station is about a mile south of the town centre. Trains run to Manchester Victoria, Halifax, Dewsbury, Bradford and Leeds.
The service to Manchester Victoria via the Oldham Loop ended in October 2009, in preparation for conversion of the line to an extension of the Manchester Metrolink tram system. It was deferred in 2004 on grounds of cost but in July 2006 plans were approved for the extension from Manchester Victoria as far as Rochdale Station, and is expected to be complete in Summer 2012. The extension to Rochdale town centre, via Drake Street and terminating opposite Rochdale bus station, should be completed by 2014.

Bus

Until 1969 the borough's bus service was provided by the municipal operator "Rochdale Corporation Transport" which was merged into the SELNEC Passenger Transport Executive. Rochdale Bus Station is located next to the Wheatsheaf Shopping Centre. There are plans to relocate it to link with the Metrolink to provide a transport interchange.
There are frequent bus services from Rochdale, operated by First Greater Manchester, to Middleton, Royton, Chadderton, Oldham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bury and Bolton. Frequent services to Manchester city centre are provided by First Greater Manchester's 17 overground service. There are cross-county services into Lancashire and West Yorkshire, provided by Rossendalebus, who operates to Rawtenstall and Accrington, First West Yorkshire, which operates to Burnley and Halifax, both via Todmorden, while the service to Halifax via Ripponden is operated by Centrebus.
