WELCOME to The Big Picture, where we bring you the best images of Rochdale, captured by our photographers and by you, our readers.

We want to see more of your pictures on this page – so get snapping as soon as possible and send us the results of your efforts. The picture can be of any scene around the Rochdale circulation area. Every week we will publish the best one.

You can email pictures to us, as a Jpeg attachment please, to rochdaleobserver@menmedia.co.uk or you can post them to us at Rochdale Observer, MEN Media, Mitchell Henry House, Hollinwood Avenue, Chadderton, Oldham OL9 8EF.
