Arms of the County Borough of Rochdale Council. File taken from civicheraldry.co.uk, with permission (see about the civic heraldry images...).

[edit] Description

This is the coat of arms of the former Rochdale County Borough Council. It was granted by the College of Arms 20 February 1857.

[edit] Rationale

The inclusion of this non-free symbol (in its strictest sense) on both Rochdale and County Borough of Rochdale is intended to improve the context and readibility of these articles. Many coat of arms of Britain's current and former councils exist on other parts of Wikipedia.

The icon is of a defunct (since 1974) organisation (the Rochdale County Borough Council - a former public corporation), but commonly used as a symbol of a local division of land.

Illustrates and educates re Rochdale without restricting or diminishes copyright holders ability to use the image. The image exists beyond the life of the author plus 70 years.
