11 Back Greater Manchester Fire Service Museum A few landmarks in fire-fighting history have taken place in Manchester. England’s first municipal fire service was set up here in 1826, while the first-ever motorised fire engine in the country was put into service in Eccles in 1901. At Rochdale’s Art Deco fire station, dating to the 1930s, there’s a free museum open Friday and Sunday and recounting this history of fire fighting in the Manchester region. The museum plunges you into specific time periods, like a Victorian street scene and the depths of the Manchester Blitz in autumn/winter 1940. There are 23 large-scale appliances to inspect, among them a hand-drawn pump from 1741, hose carts from 1900 and 1904, and a fine Dennis Metz 125-ft turntable ladder from 1957. Previous Next

Runner Up < Back Amanda Clegg Leadership Award Runner Up I have met an awful lot of people in the same position as Amanda throughout my previous career, up and down the country but I can confidently say I have never met someone like her before. She is truly an inspiration to me because of her ability to problem-solve, multi-task, dynamically learn, and think incredibly logically within high-pressure situations alongside her amazing wealth of knowledge. All of this while being literally one of the most caring and understanding people/ employers I have known in my lifetime. These { Personal settings :) } often come separate in people or are turned off by default and take years of character-building to understand, however, I can see in Amanda her qualities are very real or True Grit because of this she creates an atmosphere that breeds creativity, forward-thinking and freedom to innovate for me personally which I think many others will agree. Thank you so much :) Sorry for the duplicate please remove N/A sent without message by mistake T Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link

Runner Up < Back Alexandra Ribeiro Wood Shining Star Award Runner Up Never met anyone so calm and excellent at there job extremely organised and very professional "Alex is the business support officer for the Pennines PCN. She has worked really hard with the PCN ensuring she keeps us on target. She is extremely methodical and some would say OCD! She has done a fantastic job with the COVID Vaccines for the most vulnerable patients on the patch. She puts up with six Practice Managers and a clinical director which in itself deserves and award! She will always go over and PCN is achieving its maximum potential. Recently she has taken on more leadership roles like appraisals and has done a great job. Alex should be very proud of what she has achieved over the past 12 months and deserves this award" Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link

2 Back Hollingworth Lake Excavated in 1800 to feed the Rochdale Canal, Hollingworth Lake evolved into a tourist escape in the Victorian period. You can see why, as the reservoir has a location full of drama, looking north and east to the Pennines and the distant gritstone escarpment of Blackstone Edge. Captain Matthew Webb, the first man to swim the Channel in 1875, trained at Hollingworth Lake. Since the 1970s the lake has belonged to Rochdale Council as a country park and has been revived as a leisure amenity. There’s an activity centre on the west bank for sailing, kayaking and canoeing, rowing and windsurfing. Around the shore to the north is the visitor centre, which houses a cafe, a permanent exhibition of local heritage and wildlife and a small art gallery. You can also pick up a fishing licence at the centre, and see if you can land one of the lake’s many carp, roach, tench, bream and perch.
