Born In Rochdale

A Memory of Rochdale.

I was born in Tatham Strret and then we lived on Milnrow Road where my parents owned a fireplace and china shop. I have many happy memories of my childhood there. I used to go next door to Harold the clog maker and play with the odd parts of the clogs, I think I plagued the life out of the poor man. We came back not so long ago as I wanted to show my husband where I had grown up and show him Smith Street where my grandparents lived, but I did not recognise anywhere and I think it is true when they say you shouldn't look back. I will never forget my good life there all those years ago.
