Baillie Street Quarter
Rochdale town centre’s haven of independent shops has received a new identity as the Baillie Street Quarter.
A historic street with several Grade-II listed buildings, Baillie Street is home to a variety of independent shops, bars and restaurants, plus several ginnels including Bull Brow, The Butts Avenue and The Bank steps. This key route between the Riverside, Yorkshire Street and the Exchange Shopping Centre, has been successfully rebranded as the Baillie Street Quarter due to its unique sense of place.
Over the last few months, the Business Improvement District Team has been carrying out a variety of improvements along Baillie Street to complement the council’s wonderful public realm improvement works within The Butts Avenue and Bull Brow.
The works include: cleaning street cabinets; installing hanging baskets and planters; jet washing shops, doorways and door entrances; painting doorways; removing disused signs; and relocating commercial bins to a less prominent location.
