About

North Middleton sits on the northern edge of Middleton within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale. The area is mainly residential, with terraced and semi‑detached housing, primary schools, a community centre and a strip of local shops along the main road. Small greens and play areas are scattered through the streets and regular bus services connect the neighbourhood with Middleton town centre and other parts of the borough. Local programmes run from the community centre and several volunteers’ groups maintain pocket parks and allotments used by residents.

Immediately north, Stakehill is an industrial and commercial estate occupying a substantial area and hosting warehouses, light manufacturing units and logistics firms. The estate is laid out with long rows of loading bays, service roads and large vehicle access points that reflect its role as a freight and distribution hub within the borough. Planning work has focused on improving vehicle access and supporting new businesses while keeping existing industrial capacity. Many people who live in North Middleton are employed in or use services from Stakehill, creating a practical link between the two areas.
