About

Langley & Wood Side is situated in the southern part of Rochdale, bordering the open land of Healey Dell to the south. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing from different periods. Its streets follow the contours of the land, with some offering views across the valley. The local landscape includes the steep, wooded slopes of Kirkholt Vale, which provide a distinct green boundary.

The community is served by local shops and schools centred around Langley Lane. A notable local feature is the Rochdale to Bacup railway line, which passes through the area in a deep cutting, largely hidden from view. This creates a quiet backdrop, with the former Langley railway station site now part of the residential fabric. The area maintains a practical connection to central Rochdale for wider services and employment.
