Considered a vital part of England's industrial backbone, Rochdale's history dates back to 1086, as noted in the Domesday Book.

Its historical significance isn't limited to trading or textiles; Rochdale was historically within Lancashire and served as a county borough until 1974.

Its architectural appeal isn't limited to industrial remnants, with Rochdale boasting several Grade I listed buildings including the Town Hall and St Edmund's Church.
