Pupils from Marland Hill primary school were among those who took part in the 'Big dig', a project which is just the latest investigation at the site. There have been a series of excavations of the land since 2021, and they have discovered artefacts from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Lead archaeologist, Dr Colin Elder, said: "There's so much. It's a site that just keeps on giving, which is why we've got so many digs out of it. "Because we have such a long presence of human existence and activity on this slope, marked by the medieval church and then chopped and changed so drastically by the Georgians and the Victorians, we're hitting different time periods as we're coming down."Dr Elder and his team visited schools and community groups to talk to volunteers before they went to the added: "As much as the archaeology is super impressive, it's the community engagement in this project that really stands out." This dig is part of a wider £3 million project, with £1.4 million, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, spent to open the slope up and get the public using the area again. There will be new stone steps, landscaping and a restoration of the Packer Spout Fountain once the dig is Meredith, Rochdale Council's cabinet member for regeneration, said: "This is a knock on from the work on the (renovation of the) town hall. "It's part of a wider picture of what we're doing in this area to make it look nice for the people of Rochdale so they can be proud of where they live."Helen Featherstone, the director, for England North at The National Lottery Heritage Fund, said: "We're delighted to be supporting the Broadfield Park Slopes project, and that it is giving the communities of Rochdale the opportunity to get truly hands-on with their local heritage, and discover some of the fascinating stories of the history of their hometown."The Big Dig is one of a number of events taking place across the borough during Rochdale's year as Greater Manchester Town of Culture.

A 40p bathroom staple will get rid of ‘invasive' caterpillars destroying your garden this summer
The 40p hack is safe for families with pets and children BE GONE A 40p bathroom staple will get rid of 'invasive' caterpillars destroying your garden this summer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BATHROOM staple that sells for only 40p at stores will protect your garden from "invasive" caterpillars. The everyday item is a surprising repellent against the insects that destroy box hedging and topiary plants. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Caterpillars are particularly active in July and August Credit: Getty Gardeners have been warned to watch out for the box tree moth caterpillar. The caterpillars, which are the larvae of the box tree moth, eat the leaves and bark of box trees. In only a few days, they may turn once-beautiful bushes dark, barren, and beyond rescuing. Ecology specialists at Arbtech have alerted gardeners that the number of caterpillars peak in July and August. 40p solution But a 40p hack can help keep the pests away from your garden. A simple bar of soap from Sainsbury's can prevent caterpillars from ruining your plants. An unscented bar acts as a repellent as many insects dislike the scent and residue that soap leaves behind. Simply leave a bar of soap near your plants or rub residue on leaves to keep insects at bay. Soapy water also works wonders as it dries out caterpillars' outer layer, leading them to die from dehydration. For households with children or pets, soap is a low-risk alternative to chemical pesticides, and when used properly, it is less likely to damage pollinators. Alan Titchmarsh's top 7 plants that 'transform ugly fences with gorgeous flowers & fragrance' & they grow for years Experts' warning Infestations can be disastrous if left untreated with severely affected plants having to be uprooted and replaced completely. An ecologist from Arbtech told Tivy Side: 'Box tree moth caterpillars might look harmless, but they're an invasive species that can strip a healthy plant in no time - and because they often feed from the inside out, many people don't realise there's a problem until it's too late. 'Box hedging is hugely popular in British gardens, so this species is having a serious impact not just aesthetically, but financially too. 'We're urging homeowners to check their plants regularly over the summer months. "Look for tell-tale signs like webbing, leaf loss, or green-and-black striped caterpillars.'
