about a few lost Rochdale shops that some<br />

of you may remember. We also have our usual<br />

handy Garden Tips from our In Bloom Team and<br />

a mouth watering recipe to try out from local<br />

Chef, Andrew Nutter.<br />

There is so much coming up locally in the<br />

next couple of months, including the much<br />

anticipated <strong>Heywood</strong> 1940’s day and on pages<br />

34 and 35 you will find a useful guide to what<br />

fun is in store for everyone this year. We also<br />

have the Birtle Summer Fete which is always<br />

a fun day for all the family and for those who<br />

like to keep fit and active find all the details<br />

you need for this year’s Rochdale Harriers 25th<br />

Annual Three Day Event on pages 36 and 37.<br />

From The Archives<br />

A FEW LOST ROCHDALE SHOPS<br />

Those who can remember the variety in<br />

the streets of towns in the North West<br />

will look back fondly to a time when<br />

Rochdale’s Yorkshire Street and Drake<br />

Street offered something distinctive and<br />

different to the streets of Bury or Oldham.<br />

I could have picked Diggle and Taylor<br />

or Stock Liquidators, Lovick’s or Jimmy<br />

Duck’s, but I’ve gone with shops<br />

I remember with some affection.<br />

Iveson’s<br />

Standing in Drake Street, this store was<br />

architecturally unmissable with the tower of<br />

the Trafalgar Buildings at the corner of Nelson<br />

Street. Founded in 1810 Iveson’s vied with the<br />

Co-op across the road in attracting footfall into<br />

town for its domestic ware, its furniture and<br />

carpets. Iveson’s was thought to be the classier<br />

store of the two, possibly because it was a<br />

family concern, and was prominent in the<br />

promotion of its goods through the Observer.<br />

At its height the store employed 62 people<br />

from warehouse staff to shop assistants and<br />

office staff. Its range of goods was impressive,<br />

at one time shoppers being able to view an<br />

entire furnished bungalow in the store with<br />

over 4000 prospective shoppers coming in to<br />

see it. Not only did Iveson’s sell household<br />

fixtures but it carpeted many of the cinemas<br />

in town, equipped company boardrooms and<br />

furnished the Norden Riviera dance hall and<br />

picnic areas in 1936.<br />

The last of the Iveson family Anne (then<br />

Slater) and John oversaw the closure of the<br />

store in 1984, Anne having worked first as a<br />

cashier and eventual owner. She was with the<br />

company for over 49 years. The building was<br />

Senior’s<br />

On the corner of Yorkshire Street and Baillie<br />

Street, Senior’s provided family clothes for<br />

generations. In 1919, the founder Sydney<br />

Senior had previously rented rooms above<br />

Wild’s gent’s outfitters but started to sell made<br />

to measure men’s suits for those demobbed<br />

from the army. He made a success out of<br />

small beginnings and by 1921 was able to buy<br />

out Wild’s and open the shop under his own<br />

name. Maintaining its sewing rooms, it soon<br />

became known for its bespoke tailoring and its<br />

eye for the latest fashions. So successful was<br />

Senior’s that the premises were extended to<br />

form a large store from three smaller ones.<br />

Joining the business in 1958, Anthony Senior<br />

carried on the family tradition of producing<br />

quality clothes. By 1960 the company expanded<br />

and to meet the fashions of the day set up a<br />

ready-to-wear department on site. However,<br />

by 1999 the menswear department which had<br />

been at the heart of Seniors closed down and,<br />

on Anthony Senior’s retirement in 2001, so too<br />

the ladieswear section.<br />

Redman’s<br />

Situated on Yorkshire Street, Redman’s<br />

was one of the main grocery competitors to<br />

James Duckworth’s although its provisions<br />

were distinctive and different. A large store,<br />

Redman’s seemed to be specialists in cooked<br />

meats and that smell was the first thing that<br />

hit you as you entered the shop. It was a smell<br />

which was carried through the store and into<br />

a large café that was a meeting place for many<br />

shoppers in Rochdale.<br />

But Redman’s had certain products for sale<br />

that other shops didn’t have. I remember there<br />

being wire baskets containing what were<br />

promoted as ‘continental foods’ where you<br />

could find such strange delicacies as<br />

chocolate ants (goodness knows what they<br />

were !) and frogs legs which came in small<br />

sardine-type tins and which tasted of chicken.<br />

Haworth’s<br />

One of the most prominent spots for a shop<br />

in Rochdale was on the South Parade just<br />

around the corner at the bottom of Drake<br />

Street. Owned by three generations of the<br />

same family, Haworth’s operated from this<br />

site for many years with the first Haworth,<br />

Edwin, opening ‘The Toggery’ in 1896 to sell<br />

menswear. Edwin was joined by his son<br />

Alfred in the company, expanding the shop<br />

over the years by taking over adjoining<br />

premises and setting up new and different<br />

departments – even launching a popular<br />

ladies hairdresser’s. The store sold both<br />

men’s and women’s clothes and at their<br />

height was the place to go if you wanted<br />

quality clothes in town. Geffrey Haworth<br />

continued the business after the war but<br />

Manchester shopping in the 1960’s and<br />

the rise of a new youth culture with which<br />

Haworth’s never really kept up, led to the<br />

shop’s decline. Haworth’s was eventually<br />

sold in 1984, falling between two stools in<br />

terms of its size - it was neither big enough<br />

as a department store nor small enough to<br />

maintain trade as a local specialist retailer.<br />

With the prospect of an ever-bigger shopping<br />

centre at the heart of Rochdale and the rise of<br />

on-line shopping, it could be said that the days<br />

of the independent family store are over. That<br />

might be the case, only the names remaining<br />

of a town with ‘local shops for local people,’ a<br />

phrase that has sadly become only a sit-com<br />

joke. However, let’s hope for distinctiveness,<br />

style and shops that reach out to Rochdale<br />

with our future new shopping centre.<br />

If you have any memories or comments<br />

about these old stores (or any others)<br />

in Rochdale, I’d be delighted to hear from<br />

you and add them to a growing Rochdale<br />

archive on the subject.<br />

Seared<br />

Salmon<br />

with Potato<br />

Gnocchi,<br />

Frazzled Black<br />

Pudding<br />

and English<br />

Asparagus<br />

Serves 4<br />

INGREDIENTS<br />

CHIVE BUTTER SAUCE<br />

100ml white wine<br />

100ml white wine vinegar<br />

50ml cream<br />

200g butter – cubed<br />

1 tablespoon chopped chives<br />

POTATO GNOCCHI<br />

2 maris piper potatoes<br />

1 egg<br />

200g approx. plain flour<br />

1 tablespoon olive oil<br />

SALMON<br />

4 x 180g fillets salmon<br />

– skinned and boned<br />

2 bunches English asparagus<br />

– blanched<br />

200g Bury black pudding – cubed<br />

METHOD<br />

1. For the gnocchi – take the potatoes, skin on, and simmer in<br />

water until cooked. Remove and whilst still warm peel and<br />

then pass through a potato ricer.<br />

2. Place in a bowl, mix in the egg, salt and pepper. Flour a work<br />

surface and place the mixture in the centre, gradually keep on<br />

mixing in flour until you get a smooth, dough. Don’t overwork<br />

otherwise it does go heavy.<br />

3. Roll the potato dough into cylinders and cut into pieces about<br />

2cm wide, roll each piece over a fork to leave an indentation.<br />

4. Have a pan with simmering salted water ready, add the gnocchi<br />

and simmer until they rise to the surface, remove with a slotted<br />

spoon, cool, then drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.<br />

5. For the chive butter sauce – place the white wine and white<br />

wine vinegar in a pan and reduce by half, add the cream and<br />

reduce again, finally whisking in the butter to emulsify.<br />

Add the chives and season to taste.<br />

6. When ready to serve, heat a non-stick pan, add the olive oil and<br />

seal the salmon on both sides. Add the black pudding<br />

and slightly toast, warm the asparagus too.<br />

7. For the gnocchi – heat the olive oil and butter in a pan, add the<br />

blanched dumplings and fry briefly until slightly coloured.<br />

8. Arrange the gnocchi on serving plates, scatter with the black<br />

pudding and asparagus. Spoon over the chive butter sauce<br />

and finally top with the salmon.<br />

<strong>Heywood</strong> In Bloom<br />

Gardening Tips for <strong>May</strong><br />

1. Divide or re-position herbaceous perennials as they break<br />

into vigorous fresh growth. Dig up the whole plant and pull it<br />

apart by hand or with a fork if the roots are loose, or section it<br />

with a spade if they are fleshy. Replant the outer sections.<br />

2. Rhubarb likes a deep rich soil; it is hardy and needs a spell<br />

of cold weather to trigger it. Rhubarb should be dug up every<br />

five years and divided to stimulate fresh vigour. The older<br />

central section should be put on the compost heap. Replant<br />

the younger sections do not pick the stalks the first year.<br />

3. Potatoes grow very well in a container, especially first earlies<br />

as they are protected from cold weather if you place the<br />

container in a sheltered spot. The container needs drainage<br />

holes and has to be strong enough to be lifted when full of<br />

wet soil. A dustbin or a potato growing sack is ideal.<br />

4. Sow spring onion seeds thinly in rows where they are to<br />

grow, watering the ground first if it’s dry. The seedlings<br />

should be thinned to a final spacing of about 2cm apart and<br />

should be ready to harvest about six weeks after planting.<br />
