Old And New Rochdale And Its People is a historical book written by William Robertson and published in 1881. The book provides a detailed account of the town of Rochdale, located in the Greater Manchester area of England, and its people from ancient times to the present day. The author begins by describing the town’s early history, including the arrival of the Romans and the establishment of a medieval market. He then moves on to discuss the growth of Rochdale during the Industrial Revolution, focusing on the cotton mills and other factories that drove the town’s economy. Throughout the book, Robertson provides fascinating insights into the lives of Rochdale’s inhabitants, from the wealthy mill owners to the working-class families who lived in the cramped and often squalid conditions of the town’s many slums. He also explores the town’s social and political history, including the rise of the Chartist movement and the fight for workers’ rights. In addition to its historical content, Old And New Rochdale And Its People is also notable for its vivid descriptions of the town’s architecture, landscapes, and landmarks. The author’s love for Rochdale is evident throughout the book, and readers will come away with a deep appreciation for this vibrant and fascinating town.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
