Peter and Doreen celebrate devolution to Heywood.

Home rule for Heywood - A step closer!

The day was the 1st April 1974 - the day that Heywood lost much of its power to Rochdale. The day that the old Heywood Town Council was finally dissolved and Rochdale took over the running of the Town. Many Heywood Residents remember this day with regret. The last sign of Municipal power was knocked down in the Mid-Eighties, when the old Heywood Municipal Buildings on Longford Street was demolished. The Heywood Coat of Arms that used to sit on top of the Municipal Buildings is now mounted in the wall on the corner of Longford Street and Bamford Road.
