About

Carrbrook and Micklehurst form a residential area on the western edge of Stalybridge, situated within the steep-sided Carr Brook valley. The landscape is defined by its topography, with housing and narrow roads climbing the slopes from the brook itself. This is a former mill community, and its history is visibly tied to the local waterways and the textile industry that once dominated the valley.

The area is residential, with a mix of housing types and a local primary school. A specific local landmark is the Carrbrook Viaduct, which carries the Huddersfield Narrow Canal high above the valley floor, offering distinctive views of the terraced streets below. The surrounding moorland of the Pennine foothills provides accessible walking routes directly from the neighbourhood's edges.
