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.

The mayor’s parlour and mayor’s reception room at 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.
