The Rushbearing Holiday this year has been marred by bad weather.
Rochdale Observer, August 15th 1929.
During the Rushbearing, Rochdale, the commercial and religious centre of one of the largest single parishes in the country, was flooded with visitors from rural villages such as Milnrow, Whitworth, Littleborough and Wardle; some of which later developed their own rushbearing festivals.
