About

Rose Hill & Burnley Wood is a residential ward in Burnley with streets laid out during the town’s 19th-century industrial expansion. Long runs of terraced houses follow a grid pattern established for mill workers, and a number of former weaving sheds and mill sites remain in the urban fabric, some now used for small businesses and community groups. Local shopping parades, primary schools and community halls serve day-to-day needs, while post-industrial plots and small green spaces sit between housing blocks.

The area’s street pattern and building types tell the history of cotton production and worker housing: stone foundations, red-brick terraces and narrow back alleys reflect that era. Public transport links connect the ward to Burnley centre, and council ward boundaries define local representation and services. Community projects and housing renewal schemes have focused on adapting older buildings while keeping the original street layout and plot boundaries that date back to the town’s textile period.
