- The Rochdale Town Hall fire of 1883 burned the clock tower library and led to the opening of this 'Free Public Library' one year later. The building later expanded to include a Museum and Art Gallery. 3 sandstone panels representing science, art and literature were set into the front elevation. It's now a grade II listed building.
