Welcome to Milnrow

Milnrow is a small town located in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester. It is situated on the River Beal and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Milne Row, meaning "the row of mills". The town's economy was based on the textile industry, and many of the old mills have been converted into apartments and offices.

Milnrow has a population of around 13,000 people and is a vibrant community with a range of amenities. The town has a good selection of shops, including a supermarket, independent retailers, and a weekly market. There are also several pubs and restaurants, offering a variety of cuisines. Milnrow is well-connected to the rest of Greater Manchester, with regular bus services and a train station providing links to Manchester and Leeds.

Milnrow is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it an ideal location for outdoor activities. The town is close to the Pennine Way, a long-distance footpath that runs from Derbyshire to Scotland. There are also several parks and green spaces in the area, including Milnrow Memorial Park, which has a children's play area, tennis courts, and a bowling green. The town is also home to Milnrow Cricket Club, which has been in existence since 1845 and plays in the Central Lancashire League.
