Hi Linda,
what makes this more interesting is I have walked from Bamford along Clay Lane. There is the Heywood reservoir on the north side and I did not realize this until I copied it for you. There are three map sections of the lane. The third one I sent this morning.

The parish records for Rochdale, Middleton and Heywood do have some Grinrods in them and variations of that name, but there are a number of other churches tucked away on the country lanes.

Near by is Knoll Hill a high point at the beginning of the Pennines. Standing on the top of this hill and using Binoculars we could see towards Cheshire the radio telescope named Jodrell Bank. We estimated it might have been 45 miles away. Once you knew where it was located you could see this with the naked eye.

Its a nice area should you want to visit .

Regards

Hi Linda,
I use to live close to Rochdale in a place named

you want in the Rochdale area or is it in
> Cheshire. They are many miles
apart. Rochdale is in Lancashire almost on the
> border of Yorkshire.

Can you give me some more clues :))
All my best
