Middleton is a large town in Rochdale with a long history as a market town and cotton-weaving centre, dating back to the medieval period. The housing stock includes Victorian terraces in the town centre and areas like Wood Street and the streets off Long Street, along with a significant amount of post-war housing — both social housing estates and private semis — built in the 1950s and 1960s in the Alkrington and Langley areas. Alkrington Garden Village, a planned estate from the early 1920s, adds another layer of housing variety with its distinctive Arts and Crafts influenced semis.
