About

Bacup is a ward situated within the wider Rossendale borough, centred around the historic market town of the same name. The area is defined by its position in the Irwell Valley, with residential streets and local terraced housing climbing the surrounding Pennine foothills. Its layout and development are closely tied to its industrial past, with former mill buildings and stone architecture characterising the town centre. The local economy is focused on independent shops and services along the main thoroughfares.

The ward contains several distinct communities, including Stacksteads, which lies along the road towards Rawtenstall. A notable local feature is the Bacup Natural History Society Museum, one of the oldest of its kind in the country, housed in a former mill owner's residence. The area is also known for its annual Britannia Coconut Dancers performance, a unique tradition with medieval origins. Surrounding moorland provides accessible walking routes directly from the town's edges.
