Hunter’s Lane Rochdale

Made in Rochdale. A limited edition hand-pulled screen print with hand painted detail. There are five prints available in this edition, each one is completely unique.

Welcome to Hunter’s Lane in Rochdale. Those steps look pretty welcoming don’t they? Follow them and you’ll find yourself standing outside the church gates to Saint Mary-in-the-Baum. Its gardens are said to be haunted by the ghost of a white rabbit! Don’t follow him down the hole, who knows where you’ll end up.

In front of us, behind the garden rockery, is part of the Pioneer’s Museum. The Cooperative Society was founded there in 1844. You can still visit the site of the original store to this day. It now pays homage to the society’s history as a museum and education centre.

In the distance are two of the iconic ‘Seven Sisters’ flats. Built in the late 60’s, these blocks are easy to pinpoint in the Rochdale skyline. Stand on any of the surrounding hills and you’ll spot them.
