Littleborough is a town at the foot of the Pennines in Rochdale, close to the Yorkshire border and with a strong stone-built Pennine character. The town sits on the Rochdale Canal and the A58 Halifax road — historically an important trans-Pennine route — which explains the variety of older properties found here. The housing includes Victorian stone terraces in the town centre, older stone cottages in the surrounding villages of Hollingworth Lake, Shore and Calderbrook, and some newer residential properties on the outskirts. The hilly terrain and older stone construction mean that staircase configurations in Littleborough properties are more varied than in the flat suburban belt of Greater Manchester.
