An amazing building reminiscent of a cathedral or stately home. In fact it was built to conduct the municipal business of Rochdale. Those Victorians certainly had style and verve

What an amazing building full of local history. I recommend the tour. Our guide, Richard was full of knowledge and knew every inch of the building. The restaurant is also fantastic serving some great food.

Absolutely beautiful. Had a guided tour conducted by George. His passion, knowledge and good humour was top quality, matching the history with intricate details that would have been missed otherwise. In today’s terms, the cost to build it in 1871, is equivalent to nearly £19 million and it is easy to see by the materials used throughout. You can visit and look around without a guide but £9pp is well worth it. Crede!
