About

This trail marks places of significance in the life of the late Rochdale-born singer, actress and comedian, Dame Gracie Fields.

The plaques’ purple colour is unique to this trail and distinguishes them from the wide range of blue plaques in the town.

The trail takes in many of these important sites, as well as the statue of Gracie, which was erected in autumn 2016 as a permanent tribute to Rochdale’s favourite daughter.

The trail starts at the balcony at the front of Rochdale Town Hall, where Gracie received her Freedom of the Borough in 1937.
