Rochdale Town Hall, a Masterpiece
Deserving of Celebration 33
Welcome to our
October issue
This month’s Streetwise Magazine
includes the usual selection of local
businesses advertising their services
as well as news and info about
everything taking place locally.
On page 33 you can read all about the
renovation work which is taking place
at Rochdale Town Hall and how the
restoration of this iconic building will
eventually return it to the splendour of
when it first opened in 1871.
We have another fascinating article on
pages 34-35 from our local historian, Gary
Heywood Everett that is well worth a read.
On page 36, Local Councillor, Tricia
Ayrton has written an update about this
year’s annual Syke Christmas tree light
switch on, which will be taking place on
17th November at 6pm. An event you
won’t want to miss!
Until next time…

Rochdale Town Hall, a masterpiece
deserving of celebration
Rochdale Town Hall, widely regarded as one of the finest in
the country, is currently undergoing a multi-million pound
restoration which includes £8.9m from the lottery fund.
Phase two of the project is under way with the town hall due to reopen
next year in late summer 2023.
The aim is to return it to the original splendour of when it first opened
in 1871 and for it to be a building for the enjoyment of everyone.
Rooms are being developed into exhibition spaces to tell Rochdale’s
story alongside a new Bright Hall for events.
The Bright Hall is named after Rochdalian John Bright, a politician
and mill owner from the 1800s. He famously led the repeal of the Corn
Laws which placed tariffs on food imports making it too expensive to
bring in cereals from abroad, creating food shortages.
As you can imagine, the work taking place is comprehensive.
Renovations are taking place from the ground up to the installation
of a new roof. Hidden improvements include developing a more
environmentally friendly building including installing new insulation.
Councillor Janet Emsley, cabinet member for equalities, safety and
reform at Rochdale Borough Council, said: “The restoration and
the way the town hall will subsequently be used for all residents is
fantastic news for the borough.
“The building is a beacon for the whole region, it displays magnificent
gothic architecture and once complete will continue to shine for
generations to come.”
Much of the cleaning and repair is being carried out on site, especially
to the stained glass that adorns the building throughout. Some of that
has been transported to York for key preservation.
Most significantly the town hall is being made accessible. There will
be new ramps to make getting into the building easier and a new lift is
being installed.
Outside, the area is being completely landscaped with some new
grassed areas to complement new paving in a new Town Hall Square
that will be used for events.
Integral to the project are the large number of local residents who
have volunteered to give their time in assisting with the restoration
work. Their efforts have been key to driving the project forward and in
keeping it running to schedule.
One thing the town hall team are proud to be delivering upon opening is a new Welcome Gallery.
This will feature items and photographs that portray memories associated with the town hall.
Donations or long-term loans are still welcome, plus stories you may have that will remind visitors
of times past from events like festivals to other public gatherings.

From The Archives
THE DIALECT MONUMENT 4: OLIVER ORMEROD
The art of dialect writing looks to
celebrate the local sounds, lexicon
and construction alive in the spoken
language of a particular place.
Lancashire dialect has its own
idiosyncrasies, especially its flattened
vowels and shortened words but it’s
important to note that there are further
aural distinctions that can be made
when looking at dialects from individual
towns. Oldham and Manchester
dialects differ from those from
Blackburn and Burnley and Rochdale
has its own ‘voice,’ a voice which is
particularly admired in the history of
dialect literature. The celebration of
it is commemorated in two places in
Rochdale.
Obviously, there is the resting place
of John Collier, better known as Tim
Bobbin, in the graveyard of St Chad’s
Church and as a dialect writer he was
important in capturing the voice of the
people, especially the working people
of the town. Tim Bobbin was a rather
eccentric but powerful dialect model, but
he was followed by four Rochdale dialect
writers in the nineteenth century who
made their mark.
These four dialect writers are
commemorated by a monument in
Broadfield Park which serves to
remember the works of Edwin Waugh,
Margaret Lahee, John Trafford Clegg and
Oliver Ormerod was born in 1811 and
in mid-life became an honoured and
worthy member of the town’s cultural
society, being a prominent contributor to
the Rochdale Literary and Philosophical
Society and taking part in the radical
politics of the town. These interests
are clear in his writing, especially
in his rather satirical take on the
establishment.
Writing from an early age, Ormerod
came to prominence when he wrote and
published a prose account concerning
The Great Exhibition held at the Crystal
Palace in London. This dialect piece
was more than simple journalism
as it caught through dialect what a
northern man might feel about an event
taking place far away in the capital.
These recollections of his visit to the
exhibition were published by Dr Henry
Colley March who was also a surgeon
at Rochdale Infirmary and one of the
founders of the Rochdale Literary and
Scientific Society.
In his writing, Ormerod expressed a
wish to hone his ‘native handiwork’
and try to capture his recollections, not
simply in the northern dialect but in a
dialect particular to Rochdale.
He did this in his book of 1851 entitled O
Ful, Tru, un Pertikler Okeaawnt o bwoth
wat aw seed un wat aw yerd, we gooin too
Th’ Greyt Eggshibishun, e Lundun, an a
greyt deyle of Hinfurmashun besoide.
the subject of this article, Oliver Ormerod.

In a modern ‘translation’ this would be
‘A full, true, and particular account of
both what I saw and heard when going
to the Great Exhibition, and London,
and a great deal of information besides.’
Even from the title it is easy to see
the comic and rather satirical side of
Ormerod’s writing, characteristics of
which Tim Bobbin would have approved.
Later, in 1856 Ormerod published
further personal accounts of being a
Rochdalian in his book ‘Rachde Felley’
which ran to a number of editions and
sold well nationally. His avowed intent
was to show to a wider audience the
rich tones and the local vocabulary that
existed in the town’s dialect but also
to do this with a sense of Rochdale
comedy.
We can see the local wit of Ormerod in
the following passage about his visit to
the Great Exhibition (I would love you to
try to read the dialect version out loud
before looking at the ‘translation’):
“Wel, us aw wor gooin hinto won uth
reawms, whoo shud aw see but Sam
o’Jacks fro Owdum. E wor us gloppent
up seein me us aw wor ut seein im.
Sam’s o reglur rufyed, fur they koen
Owdum foke rufyeds oppo sum keawnt,
aw dunnut eggsaktly kno wat fur but ony
buddi e Rachde knone us it is so.”
In translation this would be:
‘Well, as we were going into one of the
[Great Exhibition] rooms, who should
I see but Sam O’Jacks from Oldham.
He was as stunned to see me as I were
at seeing him. Sam is a regular rough
head, for they call Oldham folk rough
heads upon some count, I don’t exactly
know what for but anybody in Rochdale
knows that it is so.’
Ormerod’s expressions and renditions
of the language of folk from the town
are notable for having been written with
good humour and sensitivity. They
certainly don’t look down on ordinary
people and in fact serve to value the
language and culture of ordinary
Rochdale people.
Not known as widely as Edwin Waugh
nor as culturally significant as Margaret
Lahee, nonetheless Oliver Ormerod
earned his place on the Broadfield Park
memorial and his dialect writing still
captures a poetic vernacular which is
rich in local history and which identifies
Rochdale as ‘home’ in a distinctive
literary way.
If you have any comments about Oliver Ormerod, I’d be delighted to hear from you
and add them to a growing Rochdale archive on the subject.

Syke Christmas
Tree Switch On
17th November 2022 at 6pm
The Syke Christmas Tree switch on is now an annual
and much awaited event. Christmas 2022 will be the
fifth year that the magnificent Christmas Tree has been
central to the Community Christmas celebrations –
beginning each year with the Switch on ceremony and
followed a few days before Christmas by the Carols
Around the Tree.
Every year (apart from Christmas 2020 when Covid restrictions meant that the tree was lit
unheralded) the Tree celebrations have resulted in more people gathering at any one time
on the common than has been seen since John Bright’s famous Torchlight Procession.
Our tree is a real living tree which means that it continues to grow every year – and last year
the lights (which remain on the tree throughout the year) had to be readjusted because they
had become hidden in the new growth. At the same time, three new strings of lights were
added so that the display is now even more impressive than before.
We can be justifiably proud of our tree – it is sustainable and doesn’t need replacing each
year – and the LED lights don’t consume as much power as traditional Christmas lights used
to. And when you walk past the tree in the spring you will see many different birds flying in
and out of the branches – building their nests and feeding their young. Again, passing the
tree in the evening you will hear the sound of the birds settling to roost.
During 2020, although we couldn’t hold a switch on ceremony, the lights came on as usual.
And in March and April of that year when the pandemic first struck, our Tree became a real
community hub. It was wonderful to see all the rainbows and hands that local schoolchildren
hung on the tree to celebrate the work of the NHS during that time.
So please don’t miss this year’s switch on. On 17th November 2022 at 6.00 pm the Mayor
will be with us to switch the lights on – and you can join us to celebrate the occasion at Syke
Chapel and Community Base. Tell your neighbours – we don’t want anyone to miss out!
See you then !
