Milnrow is a town in Rochdale, known for its weaving heritage and the nearby Hollingworth Lake Country Park. The housing is a mix of Victorian terraces in the town centre and along the main roads, some older stone-built properties near the original village centre, and post-war housing in the surrounding residential areas. Milnrow sits between Rochdale and Junction 21 of the M62 motorway, making it well-connected and easily accessible.
