About

Wardleworth and Newbold Brow form a residential area in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The neighbourhood contains a mix of traditional stone terraces and later council-built housing arranged around local shopping parades and small greens. Local facilities include primary schools, places of worship and community centres that host services and events, while small retail units and takeaways serve daily needs. Public buses run through the area, linking it with other parts of the borough, and a handful of former mill buildings stand as reminders of the area's textile past, some converted to light industrial or commercial use.

Newbold Brow occupies a raised line of streets whose name reflects the brow or ridge on which they sit; that change in level creates streets with longer sightlines than surrounding terraces. Pocket parks and allotments punctuate the urban fabric and support local gardening activity. Community groups and schools organise seasonal activities and sports on local pitches, and periodic housing and streetscape projects have aimed to improve public space and keep services close to residents.
