Away from the high status Mayoral rooms and Great Hall, the Court Chamber was where 2 very different worlds collided. Here the wealthy Magistrates of Rochdale sat in judgement over opportunistic petty criminals and hardened habitual offenders.
Hear the stories of the accused and the accusers, discover what drove ordinary Rochdalians into a life of crime and find out what lay in store for them beyond the courtroom.
Originally a courtroom and now the Council Chamber, it has been preserved for future generations as part of the recent redevelopment project.
