This unusual museum offers visitors the opportunity to explore the fascinating history of fire fighting. Appropriately located next to Rochdale Fire Station, the museum opened in 1983 in a converted workshop building and is one of only a handful of its kind in the country. The many and varied exhibits, which include several full size fire appliances along with a large collection of equipment, photographs, uniforms, medals, insignia, models and other memorabilia, portray the history of fire fighting in general but particularly in Greater Manchester.
