The Roebuck was situated on Yorkshire Street. This Samuel Smiths pub closed in December 2024. It was reputed to be one of the oldest pubs in Rochdale, built in 1660. The blue plaque on the wall reads 'The Roebuck Public House c1814. The first 'Roebuck PH' was built in 1660 on the old Market Place and moved in 1783 to the 'New Wall' (now No 5 South Parade). During that time it was a key stop for horse-drawn coach and mail services throughtout the north of England. The Earl of Uxbridge stopped here in 1817 to replace his cork leg after the Battle of Waterloo.'
