Autumn 2022Editor's welcome
A warm welcome to Real Rochdale
Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Real Rochdale.
Our cover image shows the picturesque Blackstone Edge reflecting on the canal at Littleborough. Rochdale Feel Good Festival returned in August for the first time since 2019 with some amazing acts including returning headliners, The Fratellis. Check out our photo galleries of this and the returning Rochdale Classic Car Show.
Springhill Hospice’s tearoom Coffee @ the Craven has reopened with a refreshed new look after being closed for over two years.
Local homelessness charity Petrus won two awards at this year’s RHS Flower Show Tatton Park, and also let us in on some tips on how to keep perennials protected as the cold weather hits.
Local business Salt Separation Services is eyeing up doubling turnover in the next five years and Adamsons Estate Agents celebrate 80 years of business.
Courtesy of our new columnist David Hayden, head chef of Hayden’s Kitchen at The Gallows in Milnrow, our black pudding potato cake recipe might seem familiar, if you watched Come Dine With Me: The Professionals this summer.
Follow this with Natasha Brown’s delicious apple pie – a true autumn staple – and you’ll be set to host your own dinner party.
As always, thank you to our advertisers and contributors – and we hope you enjoy this issue.
