Incredibly, in 1956, one could still photograph this rural scene within one mile of Rochdale Town Centre. Note added 12 August 2013: Today I received an email from Mrs Judith Harding, who was living as a one-year old baby in the next cottage when this photograph was taken, informing me of the identity of the man shown: He was George Hodgkinson, known locally as Juddy Ockey.
