Discover Rochdale
Rochdale is a town in Greater Manchester on the edge of the Pennines, famous as the birthplace of the Co-operative movement. The town centre has one of the finest Victorian town halls in the country, the Touchstones gallery and museum, and the Rochdale Canal runs through its heart. Hollingworth Lake Country Park lies to the north east, and Littleborough, Heywood and Middleton add smaller centres. The Metrolink extension reaches Manchester city centre in around forty minutes, and the M62 gives access to Leeds and the wider North West. People need to be here for regeneration and construction work, local business, and for access to the Pennine moorland. Housing is generally good value.
