Premier Inn Rochdale

Rochdale is known for being one of the birthplaces of the modern co-operative movement, which began in 1844 with the Rochdale Pioneers. The town has a strong industrial heritage and played a big role during the textile boom of the 19th century. It's also home to beautiful Victorian architecture, the Rochdale Town Hall being a standout example, and the scenic Rochdale Canal that runs through the town.
