| ‘Recedham’ is one of the very few of today’s industrial towns to be recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 – a tribute to its significance as an ancient crossroads for trade. By 1251 the town was important enough to have been granted a Market Charter – and to be the hub of one of the largest Parishes in England.
Rochdale’s spacious town centre is dominated by the spectacular Victorian Gothic Town Hall which is fronted by the broad Esplanade, still thought to be the widest road bridge in Europe with the River Roch below.
