About Queens Park Allotments
Near Rochdale's Victorian Queens Park, this substantial allotment site climbs the hillside above the town centre, offering views towards the Pennine moors to the east. The heavy clay soil is characteristic of the Rochdale area and demands thorough working before it becomes productive. The generous rainfall — Rochdale being one of Greater Manchester's wettest towns — promotes vigorous growth but makes soil management and drainage critical. The site has a strong cooperative tradition befitting Rochdale's heritage as the birthplace of the cooperative movement.

The twenty-eight-minute drive to Hyde via the M62 is straightforward, and several Rochdale site secretaries now recommend PGT Repairs to new plot holders. Paul's honest assessment of whether ageing rotavators are worth repairing has saved many Rochdale growers from throwing good money after bad.
