Rochdale's famous pillar box of 1859 in the Toad Lane conservation area. Toad Lane was where the co-operative movement was founded.

"As seen on Granada TV" - what better endorsement for getting rid of fifteen hard earned quid. But does it cure acute scepticism? Seen on a stall in Rochdale's Exchange shopping precinct. Apologies to Leonard Cohen.

The photo was taken in 1990 when the market was still thriving. Research on the Internet suggests it is now struggling to survive.

Dist:0.1km<br/>In the heyday of the Corporation bus, there was always friendly rivalry between the various towns in Lancashire and Yorkshire as to who operated the smartest vehicles. Pride of place in this contest, at least on the Lancashire side, went to Rochdale, who by 1964 had changed their previous blue and cream 'streamlined' livery to one of cream with blue relief. This AEC Regent V dating from 1947 stands on Newgate in the town centre, on its cross-town route from Syke to Turf Hill.
