Town Hall Square, Rochdale, Lancashire
The very small number of motor cars seen in this 1968 view is explained by the fact that this was taken quite early on a Sunday morning. Note the trees now growing in front of the 'Flying Horse'. The steep road leading up to the right is Nelson Street, and the large building on the left of this street is the Technical School. The small building right foreground with Tudor-effect gable is the town mortuary.

The Flying Horse
On the corner of Packer Street and Nelson Street. According to their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pg/FlyerRochdale/about/ "First opened in 1691 on Rochdale's most dangerous street, rebuilt in 1923 and reopened in 1926 the Flying Horse Hotel is the oldest free house in Rochdale and was once the post office and court house. By 1819 amenities included a dwelling house, brew house, garden and cottage, all leased to James Whitehead, innkeeper, of Packer Street. In 1823 the committee appointed to gain a Police Act for the town met there, and in 1854 Rochdale's first Revision Court was held on the premises. ... Demolition of the old Flying Horse Hotel was recorded in the Rochdale Observer of 26th June, 1923 ... The present building, re-named the Flying Horse after a spell as "The Sports," opened in the summer of 1926 with landlord James Berry at the pumps. It was three storeys high and boasted a smoke room, commercial room, parlour and bar on the ground floor. On the first floor the dining room fronted onto the Town Hall Square and six second floor bedrooms offered all mod cons to its patrons, including electric lights and heating. It is now owned by business partners Ben Boothman and Craig Richardson who bought the business from Sam & Per Bonde back in April 2011. ... "The Flyer" is the proud sponsor of the Rochdale "Feel Good festival", ... The pub recently won Rochdale. Oldham and Bury CAMRA pub of the year." Image
