About Milnrow
Milnrow lies 1.9 miles (3.1 km) east of Rochdale town centre, 10.4 miles (16.7 km) north-northeast of Manchester. It lies on the River Beal at the foothills of the South Pennines. The settlement was named by the Anglo-Saxons, but the Norman conquest of England resulted in its ownership by minor Norman families, such as the Schofields and Cleggs. The Industrial Revolution supplanted domestic woollen industries and converted the area into a mill town, with cotton spinning as the principal industry.
