Inside the Rochdale Plumbing Patch

Robust Victorian stone terraces climbing the Pennine valley sides above the River Roch, built for the textile and manufacturing workforce before 1914 and retaining original Welsh slate, lime mortar and uninsulated pipework, alongside expansive interwar semi-detached estates on the lower ground, large post-war council development and newer builds nestled into the challenging Pennine topography on the town's northern and eastern edges.
