Rochdale Infirmary
ROCHDALE INFIRMARY: Balloon ascent venue
Note: This picture was obtained from Google Earth ©
NOTES: Probably in the late 19th century, possibly in the early 20th century. Balloon ascents at festivals to raise money for hospitals where quite a common feature in the 19th century.
Did the ascent actually take place in nearby Falinge Park perhaps?
