Tech sign
Up a cobbled street in Rochdale you’ll find these fine
terracotta signs marking the original site of Rochdale Technical School. The
college was built in 1892 and closed in 1989. They were saved when the building
was demolished and were stored at the Touchstones gallery, but were
too heavy to exhibit. They were returned to their original site in 2010.

Pioneering picture taking
A visit to the Rochdale Pioneers Museum today reminded me that I had a picture of this rather fine old co-op sign, taken on
holiday in Devon last summer.
The museum has a great exhibition of photos of co-op signs –
old, new and international. It’s on until 28 February 2015. Catch it if you can,
and follow it on #coopography.
