About

Whitworth ward lies in the northern part of the Rossendale borough, defined by the moorland edges of the West Pennine Moors. The River Spodden runs through the area, historically powering the local textile industry. The landscape is a mix of residential settlements and open upland, with the town of Whitworth serving as the central hub for the surrounding villages and hamlets.

The area's industrial past is evident in its architecture, including former mill buildings and characteristic stone terraces. Local geography is shaped by the steep valley sides and quarries that have extracted sandstone for generations. Community life often centres around traditional events and the Whitworth Civic Hall, reflecting the ward's distinct identity within the wider Rossendale area.
