MCFCTrick said:I am in the minority here, in that we moved TO Rochdale in 1999. (Marland Fold, Marland) Where we live is lovely.....open fields behind our house down to the river Roch. Springfield Park. Decent pub on the main road (Success To The Plough) and great motorway access as well as 20 mins on the train from Castleton.
And, er that's it really.
The centre has visibly deteriorated in the 12 years we have lived here, and is a place we totally avoid barring one pub, The Baum (and across from there to the Brickcroft Social Club for the rock band nights only) which is a great pub. (Totally out of character from the rest there)
And my mate, Mike;s Barbers off the top end of Yorkshire St (A big Blue, with City stuff all over the shop by the way)
And yes, a great deal of it is down to the ghettoisation (sp?) of it, and many surrounding areas.....
I live round the corner from you.
