At Caldershaw children have been learning about listed buildings in their area, whilst young people at St Andrew\u2019s have been busy researching key Rochdale buildings, such as the imposing former Birch Hill Hospital, which was originally a Victorian workhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Historic England\u2019s national Heritage Schools programme is funded by the Department for Education, to support schools in exploring their local heritage.
