Ruth-Anne travels to the Cotton Famine Road in Rochdale, one of the lasting monuments to this turbulent time in working-class history in the North-West. We speak to Alan Rawsterne from the Rooley Moor Neighbourhood Forum and playwright Mick Martin about what the Cotton Famine road symbolises for them today. 

Written and presented by Ruth-Anne Walbank
