Stories from the Clough

The project will focus on the rich and diverse history of Boggart Hole Clough, telling contemporary and historical stories through the eyes of the local community using the ‘Old Rose’ garden as a backdrop for this.

The park has been neglected over the years, and many have felt unsafe entering the space from the Rochdale Road entrance. The community would like to reclaim the garden to create alternative and accessible access to the park, have a space to enjoy outdoor wellbeing activities learn about caring for nature, and bring people together to enjoy the uniqueness of Boggart Hole clough.
