Rochdale Pioneers Museum mezzanine education space takes shape
Photos taken in February show the creation of a new education space which will be housed on a new mezzanine level in the Rochdale Pioneers Museum.
Work on the Pioneers Museum, Toad Lane, Rochdale, is rapidly progressing in the run-up to the reopening of the Museum in spring 2012 as part of International Year of Co-operatives. The Museum, housed in the building where the Rochdale Pioneers opened their first shop on 21 December 1844, widely regarded as the birthplace of modern day co-operation, is currently being renovated by Manchester-based co-operative architects Loop Systems as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund grant. Building work also includes an extension which will house a lift and staircase.
