About

Whittlefield & Rose Grove is a ward in the Borough of Burnley that combines built-up residential streets with pockets of local industry. The area includes the village of Rose Grove and the Whittlefield estate, with a mix of terraced housing and post-war council properties. Everyday facilities are clustered around small parades of shops, primary schools and community centres, and local parks provide outdoor space for children and short walks. Rose Grove railway station sits on the East Lancashire Line, offering direct services to Burnley and Colne and acting as a practical commuting link for residents.

Community life in the ward is oriented around grassroots groups, sports clubs and parish-level activities that use school halls and community rooms. A number of small industrial units and workshops offer jobs within walking distance of housing, while bus routes connect to Burnley town centre for wider services. The area’s street pattern and building types reflect its development during the industrial and post-war periods, and the railway stop at Rose Grove remains a clear marker of the ward’s transport and employment history.
