Rochdale, Cloth Hall
On Drake Street. The name of the building seems to indicate that it was once an exchange for merchants and manufacturers, presumably of wool and cotton, but no source seems to tie the building into this use. Now occupied by accountants.

The 'Navigation Inn', Drake Street, Rochdale
The name of this public house gives the clue to its age, as just across the road there used to be the terminal basin of the Rochdale Branch Canal. This canal, north of the junction with the main line at Lock Bridge, has been filled in.

Cloth Hall
The premises at 150 Drake Street are currently the offices of an accountant. Back in 1844 it was owned by a Mr Butterworth who was offered £20 for it by the Rochdale Pioneers provided he made it tenable. In the end however they found much cheaper premises on Toad Lane so that is where the Co-op movement began instead of here.
