Littleborough is a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester. It lies in the upper Roch Valley by the foothills of the South Pennines, 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) northeast of Rochdale and 12.6 miles (20.3 kilometres) north-northeast of the city of Manchester. In 2001, Littleborough and its surrounding suburbs of Calderbrook, Shore and Smithy Bridge were noted as having a population of 13,807. When cotton was introduced as a base to make cloths, Littleborough experienced an increase of families, generally from the neighbouring county, the West Riding of Yorkshire. Affluent houses and estates were developed on the outskirts of the town. Coal mining, engineering ventures and increasingly sizeable fabric mills resulted in Littleborough’s population expansion and urbanisation, which produced its status as a mill town. Throughout the mid-20th century, imports of cheaper foreign products contributed towards the steady deindustrialisation of Littleborough, but the business diversity of the town helped it to keep off the developing financial depression, which was endured elsewhere in North West England. Littleborough’s stone-built town centre is designated as a Conservation Area for its particular architectural qualities. The town also boasts excellent dining and leisure facilities, with Littleborough Rugby Union Football Club being elected ‘Club of the Year’ at National Ruby Football Awards.
