Rochdale

Rochdale sits high in the Pennines and is one of the area’s oldest recorded settlements and was home to one of the world’s first consumer cooperatives when the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers was founded in 1844. The original shop in Toad Lane, where they sold their produce is now a museum celebrating their achievements.

The Romans had a fort near the town and their legacy is uncovered in the Rochdale Museum.
