Learn more about the town of Rochdale and its history
– Rochdale was a small village in the Pennines, near Oldham and Manchester. It developed into one of the most important towns during the Industrial Revolution as it became an industrial centre for cotton weaving.
– The first mills were constructed in 1798 by John Shuttleworth who later went on to build over 600 more looms all powered by water or horsepower until 1825 when steam engines started to be used instead.
– In 1830, there were 15 factories employing about 3000 people with at least 1250 living within walking distance from them while children often worked alongside their parents due to low wages and high unemployment rates caused by mechanisation which increased competition between workers.

History of Rochdale

3. Members were required to contribute a small sum each week and be limited to one share in order to purchase goods at wholesale prices from their own store
4. Over time, the society prospered and grew into something much larger than originally anticipated
5. In 1863, there were over 1,000 members with more than £1 million worth of shares; by 1865 there were 2,500 members with £2 million worth of shares
