Selling a cap in Rochdale
Rochdale is where the modern cooperative movement began, in a shop on Toad Lane that is now a museum, and it was a cotton spinning town on a substantial scale. The Pennines rise directly behind it and the town hall is one of the finest Victorian buildings in the country.
Mill closures left tools and equipment in private hands, and family housing turns over within the area rather than out of it. Moorland walking gear moves steadily given how close the hills are.
The tram connects the town to the wider region and the interchange is central, which makes small handovers easy. Terraced streets are narrow with limited parking, so confirm access for anything large.
On anything stored in a cellar, check for damp. The terraced stock here has a great deal of unheated below-ground storage and it is hard on upholstery and particle board alike.
Rochdale, in England, has around 107,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
