Following on from yesterday's post and also thinking about our town centre's regeneration, the oldest hiuse in Rochdale was demolished in 1908 for new development.
This was The Great House, Amen Corner, situated in what is now Newgate. The land ajoining was known as The Orchard, where the War Memorial is now.
The house dated back to 1565.
If you live locally please call in to Touchstones and see the many photographs we have in our collection on the town centre's development over the years.
