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.

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
