Ramsbottom is a historic market town in Bury, set in the Irwell Valley at the foot of the West Pennine Moors. The town is known for its Victorian stone-built and brick terraces, its independent shops and restaurants, and the East Lancashire Steam Railway that runs through the valley. The surrounding villages — Summerseat, Holcombe and Edenfield — include stone-built Pennine properties with more complex internal staircase configurations than the standard valley-bottom terrace. The combination of compact town terraces and more complex Pennine stone properties makes every survey in Ramsbottom different.
