Rossendale Transport tow truck at the Rochdale yard – 16 Apr 1995 (261-07)

Easter Sunday 16 April 1995 – Rossendale Transport ERF tow truck YJX 538Y (Hector) at the yard in Corporation Road, Rochdale.

The yard is on the site where the Standard Mill (built in 1889) once stood, one of the many cotton mills that existed in Rochdale. In the background is a small remaining part of what had been Brimrod Mill. It had been owned by AEI (Associated Electrical Industries) for some years and I recall the names of its subsidiaries Siemens, Edison Swan on the building in the 1960s.
