A Memory of Rochdale.

I used to live at Daniel Fold Spot land Rochdale, from 1949 ton1955.  In 1954 my brother Eric was 8 and I was 9. We would play in a nearby valley we called Healey Dell, and we would walk miles along the banks of a stream. There was a Railway line that passed over the Healey Viaduct. I used to climb onto the stone wall by the track and run along it, totally fearless. Whilst my brother ran up and down screaming for me to get down in fear for my safety. There was a very long drop to the river below which had a whirlpool. I think my brother was more afraid of me falling into the whirlpool.  Wonderful memories of childhood exploration and wandering free, probably trespassing also. Sadly he passed away last May. He would often talk about those days.
