A warm welcome to Real Rochdale magazine

We start this edition with a fascinating feature by Nikki Staley about the rich history of Broadfield Slopes in Rochdale town centre.

I went to Hollingworth Academy to meet Cate Calveley, Careers Leader & Specialist Leader of Education.

Liz White has written features on Rochdale Artists Group, which meets twice weekly in Castleton, and Violet Flamingo, a fashion studio in Littleborough founded by Lindsey James.

We’ve been out and about with our cameras photographing local events such as The Herds in Heywood, Rochdale Classic Car & Bike show at Falinge Park, the Rushbearing Festival in Littleborough, Heywood 1940s Day, and Rochdale Pride Parade.

We also feature Chantilly, the award-winning lingerie retailer, and we showcase some of the businesses at Spotland Bridge Mill - if you haven’t visited I highly recommend doing so.
