Sparth Community Centre

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) awarded a grant of £24,800 to “Sparth Then & Now”, a history project which was developed by St Vincent’s Housing Association in partnership with Sparth Community Centre, Touchstones Rochdale and Rochdale MBC.

The project, which was a great success, culminated in an exhibition at Touchstones Rochdale in September/October 2008 and a new, inter-active web-site Sparth Then And Now - the latter has now passed over to the Community Centre, and will be added to on an ongoing basis.

The web-site allows you to travel back through time, to see how people lived, worked and played ... how Sparth has changed over the ages, and the young people of the area's vision for the future:

• Pre-historic

• Medieval Sparth

• Lords & Manors

• The Age of Industry

• Living Memories

• Sparth Now

If you would like further information, or if you have something you think we might like to add to the web-site, please contact:
