Britannia & Lee Mill

Britannia & Lee Mill ward lies in the eastern part of the Rossendale borough, characterised by its mix of residential areas and open moorland. The ward includes the distinct communities of Britannia and Lee Mill itself, situated along the A681 road. The landscape here is defined by steep valleys and upland pastures, with housing often built into the hillsides. Local amenities serve the immediate population, with a focus on practical community needs.

A notable local landmark is the substantial Lee Mill Quarry, an active industrial site that has long been part of the area's economic fabric. The ward's topography means many properties offer expansive views across the Rossendale Valley. Public footpaths provide access onto the surrounding open moorland, which forms part of the West Pennine Moors. The infrastructure reflects its position as a through-route between larger towns in the valley.
