Rochdale is one of the UK's most important towns and is steeped in history. Our impressive Grade I listed Town Hall is regarded as one of the finest in the country and is a wonderful example of Victorian Gothic architecture.
Across the road from the town hall is our impressive war memorial, created by the famous architect Edard Lutyens, who also designed the cenotaph in Whitehall, London.
You can also visit the Pioneers Museum on Toad Lane and see the original store where the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society started trading on 21 December 1844, sparking the worldwide co-operative movement.
