Toad Lane - The Rochdale Pioneers
Lesson: History
Class: Year 4H Year: 2019 - 2020
Today, 4J visted the Rochdale Pioneer's museum on Toad Lane which is the site for the very first Co-op. They learnt all about how families used to live in the countryside and traded items before being forced into the towns and cities due to the industrial revolution. They then found out about how harsh their lives were with the factory owners ruling the towns and how the famous 12 pioneers broke free and formed the fair trade cooperative.
