The character of Rochdale
The rebuilt town centre around Touchstones and the Town Hall favours pedestrians, with vehicle access pushed to the surrounding ring road. Drake Street and the market area carry loading restrictions through the day. Once clear of the centre, Rochdale's roads climb steadily toward Littleborough and the moor edge, which changes the driving character within a few minutes of leaving town.
