EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Rochdale Town Hall, as it stood proudly in the early 1900s. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of grandeur and elegance. The Town Hall, located in the heart of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England, is a stunning example of Victorian and Edwardian architectural design. Constructed between 1867 and 1871, the building was designed by the architects Henry Dagnall and Alfred Waterhouse in the Italian Renaissance style. The intricate details of the building's facade, with its ornate columns, arches, and intricate stonework, are on full display in this early 20th-century photograph. The image captures the Town Hall in all its glory, with its grand entranceway leading to the steps, where townsfolk would have gathered for important events and meetings. The large, arched windows allow light to flood into the building, illuminating the grand interior. The photograph also reveals the beautiful gardens surrounding the Town Hall, with their meticulously manicured lawns and colorful flower beds. This lantern slide, an early form of photographic transparency used for projection, offers a unique perspective on Rochdale's history and architectural heritage. It is a reminder of the rich cultural and historical significance of this beautiful building, which continues to serve the community as a hub for local government and cultural events.
