Littleborough
Littleborough is a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester. It is found in the upper Roch Valley by the foothills of the South Pennines, 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of Rochdale and 12.6 miles (20.3 km) north-northeast of the city of Manchester. In 2001, Littleborough and its surrounding suburban areas of Calderbrook, Shore and Smithy Bridge were noted as having a population of 13,807. When cotton was launched as a base to make cloths, Littleborough experienced an influx of families, mainly from the neighbouring county, the West Riding of Yorkshire. Upscale houses and estates were developed on the outskirts of the town. Coal mining, engineering ventures and progressively sizeable textile mills contributed to Littleborough's population growth and urbanisation, which led to its status as a mill town. Throughout the mid-20th century, imports of cheaper foreign goods contributed to the steady deindustrialisation of Littleborough, but the business diversity of the town enabled it to keep off the occurring financial depression, which was endured elsewhere in North West England. Littleborough's stone-built town centre is designated as a Conservation Area for its particular architectural qualities. The town also boasts good dining and leisure facilities, with Littleborough Rugby Union Football Club being named 'Club of the Year' at National Ruby Football Awards. For all your home upgrades, make sure to make use of trusted contractors in Littleborough to make certain of quality.
