The Lancashire boiler comprised a large steel shell usually between 5 - 9 m long through which passed two large-bore furnace tubes called flues. Part of each flue was corrugated to take up the expansion when the boiler became hot, and to prevent collapse under pressure. A furnace was installed at the entrance to each flue, at the front end of the boiler. Typically, the furnace would be arranged to burn coal, being either manually or automatically stoked.

The hot gaseous products of combustion passed from the furnace through the large-bore corrugated flues. Heat from the hot flue gases was transferred into the water surrounding these flues.

The boiler was in a brickwork setting which was arranged to duct the hot gases emerging from the flues downwards and beneath the boiler, transferring heat through the bottom of the boiler shell, and secondly back along the sides of the boiler before exiting through the stack.

These two side ducts met at the back of the boiler and fed into the chimney.

These passes were an attempt to extract the maximum amount of energy from the hot product gases before they were released to atmosphere.

Later, the efficiency was improved by the addition of an economiser. The gas stream, after the third pass, passed through the economiser into the chimney. The economiser heated the feedwater and resulted in an improvement in thermal efficiency.

One of the disadvantages of the Lancashire boiler was that repeated heating and cooling of the boiler, with the resultant expansion and contraction that occurred, upset the brickwork setting and ducting. This resulted in the infiltration of air, which upset the furnace draught.

These boilers would now be very expensive to produce, due to the large amounts of material used and the labour required to build the brick setting.

It lies within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire. However since 1974 it was made a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester.

Although not administratively part of Lancashire, the creation of metropolitan counties did not intend to alter the historic county boundaries or the loyalties to to historic counties; which was confirmed by the government at the time of the creation of Greater Manchester.

Therefore you could argue that Rochdale is infact part of Lancashire and that it also forms an administrative metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester.

Greater Manchester does however exist as a geographical frame of reference and exists in law.

Answerbag2010's answer:

Rochdale is neither in Manchester nor Lancashire. Rochdale is a town, which lies in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester county.

There is no such legal notion as being located within an "historic county boundary." It is a fictitious statutory position which is fabricated by people and pressure groups such as the Association of British Counties (http://www.abcounties.co.uk/) and Friends of Real Lancashire (http://www.forl.co.uk/) who remain opposed to the Local Government Act 1972 and it's reform of sub-national governance.

In response to the statement in the original answer that "...the creation of metropolitan counties did not intend to alter the historic county boundaries or the loyalties to to historic counties; which was confirmed by the government at the time of the creation of Greater Manchester," the LGA 1972 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1972/70) did indeed intend to alter the boundaries of the pre-1974 CE counties; this was the whole point, to make the boundaries more relevant to the people who reside within them in terms of seeking services from local government. The only confirmation which can come from government is in the form of the law, so any comments from politicians to the contrary are merely sound bites designed to placate people who are resistant to change.

It cannot be argued that Rochdale "is infact part of Lancashire" because no part of the law states this. Indeed, it was only in 1996 that the postal counties -based on the pre-1974 boundaries- were abolished for the purposes of directing mail. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_counties_of_the_United_Kingdom) It was the permanence of these which can be said to be a factor in making people believe that various towns in Greater Manchester still formed part of Lancashire.

Manchester and Greater Manchester are not (yet) coterminous, as London is for Greater London. This can explain the confusion surrounding the idea that something in Greater Manchester, is automatically part of the city of Manchester.
