Podiatrists provide assessment, evaluation and foot care for a wide range of patients, which range from low risk to long-term acute conditions. Many patients fall into high-risk categories such as those with diabetes, rheumatism, cerebral palsy, peripheral arterial disease and peripheral nerve damage. www.healthcareers.nhs.uk Podiatrist Entry requirements The most popular way into podiatry is through an approved degree course or a Masters degree in podiatry. It usually takes two to three years full time and over four years part-time. Once you’ve successfully completed your degree you’ll need to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) before you can start practising. The other option is to apply for a degree apprenticeship. Entry requirements for an undergraduate course are typically: five GCSEs (grades A-C), including language, maths and science. Previous Next

5 Back Healey Dell Nature Reserve Only a couple of miles from Rochdale town centre, Healey Dell is in dense woodland on the tight banks of the tumbling River Spodden. Here the river has hewn a sharp gorge, and bubbles over rapids and waterfalls that once drove, corn, wool and cotton mills. Best of all though is the Victorian viaduct spanning the gorge. This was built in 1867 for a long-defunct railway and is a fantastic viewpoint 30 metres over the river. Faint traces of industrial archaeology await along the river at what’s left of the Broadley Wood Mill, Stone Rubbing Mill and Th’Owd Mill l’th Thrutch. Previous Next

10 Back Ellenroad Engine House The world’s largest working steam mill engines, Victoria and Alexandra are caged in the engine house of a former spinning mill. The mill itself, dating to 1890 and rebuilt in 1916, was pulled down in 1982, but the engine house and its boiler chimney were saved. Victoria and Alexandra were installed in 1917 and together form a twin tandem compound steam engine capable of 3000 hp and so believed to be the most powerful in existence. Also in working order are Ellenroad’s mill pilot generator engine and sprinkler pump, as well as two more engines sourced from other factories, and the remnants of a third currently being restored. Victoria and Alexandra are woken from their sleep during Steaming Days on the first Sunday of the month. There are non-steaming days weekly on Tuesdays, Sundays (outside the first Sunday) and the first Saturday of the month, when the engine house is open and you can take a look around. Previous Next

4 Back Rochdale Canal The namesake canal cuts through the south side of Rochdale on its 32-mile course from Castleford Basin in Manchester to Sowerby Bridge in Yorkshire. Built at the turn of the 19th century, this was a major navigable waterway for its 14-foot-width, accelerating the Industrial Revolution in the region and acting as a highway for cotton, wool, timber, limestone, salt and coal. Traffic had dried up by the 1920s, and the canal was eventually closed to boats in 1952. But since its restoration was completed in 2002, the Rochdale Canal is one of the few historic waterways that are navigable on its entire length. Of the 92 original locks, 91 remain, as locks three and four have been merged into one. And if you want you could walk the 32 miles, or simply break out into the countryside south and east of Rochdale for Pennine scenery and industrial history (the section in the centre of town is a bit gritty).
