Model of Cologne Cathedral

A photograph of a model of Cologne Cathedral appeared in the Rochdale Observer on 16th June 1956. The model had been made by Mr William Pollitt and had taken twenty four years to complete. For the first eleven years Mr Pollitt had worked solely with the aid of drawings in a text book. Sir Clement Royds paid for Mr Pollitt and his wife to visit Cologne so they could see the Cathedral first hand.
