Rossendale, Administrative district in Lancashire, England
The Rossendale Valley stretches across 53 square miles of northwestern England, containing multiple settlements within steep-sided valleys of the River Irwell.
The district experienced substantial population growth during the Industrial Revolution, expanding from 24,136 residents in 1801 to 89,540 in 1901.
Textile manufacturing defined the region's development, with numerous mills operating along the river valley, leading to its recognition as The Golden Valley.
The borough connects to Manchester, Burnley, and Blackburn through the A56/M65 and M66 motorways, with regular bus services linking surrounding destinations.
Rossendale Flagstone from local quarries was selected for construction projects nationwide, including the pavement of Trafalgar Square in London.
