About

Milnrow West sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale and covers the western side of the Milnrow settlement. The area is mainly residential, with rows of nineteenth-century terraces built during the textile era and a handful of former mill buildings clustered along the River Beal; several of those mills have been repurposed for housing and small businesses. A compact high street provides local shops, a post office, and community facilities, while primary schools and a community centre serve neighbourhood needs.

Green spaces and riverside paths run through the ward, offering short walks and local play areas that link streets to the valley floor. Street patterns reflect the industrial expansion of the 1800s, with workers’ housing set close to the river and the old mill sites. Public transport runs along the main road, giving regular bus links into the wider Rochdale borough, and local groups use the community halls and parks for events and clubs that aim to keep services and social life close to home.
