The beautiful countryside of Rossendale and its excellent road links has made the area a popular home with commuters to Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Bury, and Manchester. Rossendale is a district that was officially created in 1974 and includes the boroughs of Bacup, Haslingden and Rawtenstall, and sections of Ramsbottom and Whitworth. The overall population within Rossendale is about 66,000 and the area encompasses numerous villages and hamlets. The River Irwell and its tributaries flow through the deep valleys of the Forest of Rossendale, creating a perfect environment for the construction of watermills and the development of the wool and cotton industries in the 18th and 19th centuries. Rossendale is also noted for its stone quarries, and Rossendale Flagstone was used widely in the 19th century and even paved Trafalgar Square.
