Inspector Faulkner and P.C. Hill of the Rochdale Borough Police Force were in the vicinity of the Art Gallery when they were informed that a cat was marooned on an upturned perambulator in the River Roch close to the Manchester Road bridge. A wicker basket containing a piece of meat was lowered by rope towards the pram. The cat jumped into the basket and was hauled to safety and was then handed over to its owners. Minky the cat, is a pet belonging to Rochdale Art Gallery staff and it is believed that he fell from a window ledge whilst foraging for food.
