About

Bamford ward is situated on the western edge of the Rochdale borough, bordering the town of Heywood. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types including inter-war semi-detached homes and more recent developments. Its landscape is defined by the open fields and farmland of the western fringe, with the Rochdale Canal passing through the southern part of the area, providing a linear green corridor for walking and cycling.

The ward contains several local amenities serving the community, including Bamford Primary School and the St Michael's Church complex. A notable local feature is the Grade II listed Bamford Chapel, a historic Methodist church building dating from the early 19th century. The area's road network, including the A627(M) motorway link, provides connections to Rochdale town centre and Manchester, while the open land at Bamford Fold offers views towards the hills beyond the borough boundary.
