Radcliffe is a market town in Bury, historically a cotton-spinning centre sitting in the Irwell Valley between Bolton and the Bury town area. The housing is predominantly Victorian terraced streets in the town centre and surrounding areas — Bury Street, Blackburn Street and the streets off Church Street are typical. These compact terraces were built quickly and economically for Radcliffe’s cotton-industry workforce, resulting in the steep, narrow staircases that we encounter regularly across the town. Some post-war housing exists on the outskirts towards Pilkington and Outwood.
