Tandle Hill War memorial

An impressive and commanding obelisk with a disappointing tablet - presumably vandal proof.

Well worth a visit, stunning views as far as Jodrell Bank on a good clear day. Take a look at the Roman Catholic Copper dome on Maclure Road and the adjoining foil of the Italianate Fire Station Tower.

Your opportunity to see this dominant feature of the Rochdale landscape is limited, the crumbling Fire Station tower assualted by decades of high pressure hoses needs repair or demolition.

Guess which is cheapest ?

Remember the whole of Tandle Hill Park was given in deliverance for the memory of those who died in the First World war. The gify was so deeded that it is impossible to ever build on it.
