The 57m (190ft) clock tower by Alfred Waterhouse - who is famous for designing Manchester Town Hall and the Natural History Museum - was added in 1887. The recent renovation work has brought some of the most dramatic changes in the Great Hall where specialists used a variety of equipment, including cotton wool buds, to painstakingly restore the 350 panels
which cover the room’s hammerbeam ceiling.
Years of grime made the tiles appear dark brown, and the intricate images on each panel, including the English lions and the Scottish thistle, were impossible to see.
Now, hundreds of beautiful designs in red and gold can be viewed for the first time in decades.
In the Exchange, at the main entrance to the building, Minton floor tiles, which depict a hanging fleece and other insignia of Rochdale, have been repaired. The elaborate vaulted ceiling
and sweeping staircase in granite and marble, have been cleaned and restored. Stained glass windows, painted surfaces and wood panelling and furniture throughout the building have also been brought back to their former glory.

The £20m renovation of Rochdale town hall, Greater Manchester, UK.
Rochdale town hall in Greater Manchester will open to the public on Sunday 3 March after a four-year renovation project. Some of the most dramatic changes were in the Great Hall, where specialists painstakingly restored the 350 panels that cover the room's hammerbeam ceiling.
The Great Hall, one of the highlights inside Rochdale town hall in Greater Manchester which is due to reopen in March after completion of a four year renovation project which cost £20million including National Lottery Heritage funding of £8.9m. The Grade I listed building was designed by William H Crossland and originally opened in 1871. The 57m (190ft) clock tower by Alfred Waterhouse - who is famous for designing Manchester Town Hall and the Natural History Museum - was added in 1887. The recent renovation work has brought some of the most dramatic changes in the Great Hall where specialists used a variety of equipment, including cotton wool buds, to painstakingly restore the 350 panels
which cover the room’s hammerbeam ceiling.
Years of grime made the tiles appear dark brown, and the intricate images on each panel, including the English lions and the Scottish thistle, were impossible to see.
Now, hundreds of beautiful designs in red and gold can be viewed for the first time in decades.
In the Exchange, at the main entrance to the building, Minton floor tiles, which depict a hanging fleece and other insignia of Rochdale, have been repaired. The elaborate vaulted ceiling
and sweeping staircase in granite and marble, have been cleaned and restored. Stained glass windows, painted surfaces and wood panelling and furniture throughout the building have also been brought back to their former glory.

Restoration of 16th-century Derbyshire tapestries ends after 24 years at Hardwick Hall
After a 24-year project, the National Trust has finally finished the restoration of a set of 16th-century tapestries at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, the longest such endeavour in its history.
The final tapestry in the set of 13 Gideon tapestries was unveiled on the wall of the long gallery, the culmination of a painstaking effort to clean and hand-stitch the huge pieces one at a time, at a cost of £1.7m.
The enormous works, 6 metres tall and more than 70 metres in length, are considered to be one of the most ambitiously scaled tapestry sets of their time, and were last on display together before the project began in 1999.
Hardwick Hall, an Elizabethan country house situated on a hilltop between Chesterfield and Mansfield, was at one point surrounded by nine coalmines.
Staff at Hardwick Hall make final adjustments to the tapestries at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire where the National Trust are unveiling a set of 13 16th-century tapestries. It is the National Trust's longest ever conservation project - they have spent 24 years restoring the tapestries.
