Extensions
The Rochdale Corporation at their meeting on Thursday in last week adopted plans by Mr Hathaway for the extension of the art-gallery at an estimated outlay of £6,500. It was explained that the whole of the Willow Bank site will be utilised. The extension will be carried from the existing gallery to the junction of the Esplanade and Manchester Road, and down Manchester Road to the limit of the site, the new fronts being in keeping with the present building. At the corner of Manchester Road there will be extra ornamentation and a bay window. The ground floor will provide additional museum accommodation, and above there will be two more galleries for pictures.
