Rochdale Market

Photograph at the Rochdale Market black plaque

Former Site of Rochdale Market Rochdale was one of the first of the towns in Lancashire to receive a market charter (1240 AD), and this plaque commemorates the transfer of the market in the mid-16th century from its original location in or around Church Lane to Yorkshire Street. The area marked by metal studs continued to be used until the early 1940's
