Welcome to<br />
our <strong>May</strong> issue<br />
Once again this month we have a great<br />
magazine with pages of community<br />
information reflecting local life as well as<br />
recent and forthcoming events. Combined<br />
with many local businesses advertising their<br />
services, Streetwise really is THE essential<br />
handy guide for every household.<br />
This month local historian, Gary <strong>Heywood</strong><br />
Everett, has sent another fascinating article<br />
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 />
