Rochdale Vintners Building, Yorkshire Street And Newhall Street
 As the inscription indicates, this
building once belonged to the Rochdale Vintners
Company. The building has two facades, the one
above on Newgate Street and a brick one (below) on
Yorkshire Street.
 In 2018, it is occupied by “Cocka Doodle Moo” that describes itself as a “Meat Shack”. Prior to this, it was home to Yates’s Wine Lodge. (The images below were taken circa 2002)   The Yates's Wine Lodge in
Rochdale was one of the earliest bought by the
company, who also operated a subsidiary firm
called the Rochdale Vintners Company. Over
the modern shop window of the Wine Lodge on
Yorkshire Street, is an ornamental and dated
downspout, inscribed with the year 1745.
 In 1745, this was a private residence before it was transformed into the Blue Bell Inn. On the Newhall Street facade is the date 1911.  |
