Steam printing was introduced to Rochdale around this time in 1858 by Messrs. E. Wrigley and Sons.
Their works were on Acker Street and they had offices on Yorkshire Street.
The following month it was announced that the 'Observer and Standard' would be printed in Rochdale by this new method.
A steam printing press ! Would love to see photos of this press and the workshop on Acker street.
