An illustrated timeline of a Lancashire town called Rochdale.
The scroll depicts Roman, Norman, Medieval times, the Industrial revolution
to 21st century architecture.

We started this personal project in early 2014. 

A ten metre long scroll version was commissioned and displayed
at the Rochdale Literature and Ideas festival 2014.
