About

Longholme is a residential ward situated in the Bacup area of Rossendale. The neighbourhood is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, built during the peak of the local textile industry. The layout of the streets follows the contours of the steep valley sides, with many homes offering views across the town. It functions as a quiet, residential community with local amenities focused on daily needs.

The area is directly bordered by the open moorland of the Rossendale Hills, with footpaths leading from the streets onto the heather-covered slopes. This creates a distinct transition from the built environment to the expansive upland landscape. The ward includes the site of the former Bacup Gas Works, a reminder of its industrial past. Local life centres around a few shops and community facilities serving the immediate population.
