Longholme is an electoral ward within the borough of Rossendale, Lancashire, sitting in the hilly Rossendale Valley on the edge of the Pennines. The area mixes Victorian stone terraces with former mill sites and patches of moorland, offering regular views across the valley towards neighbouring towns such as Bacup and Rawtenstall.
Its character is shaped by a 19th‑century textile history - old mills and churches remain local landmarks, some now repurposed for small businesses or housing - and by a strong community feel, with active volunteer groups, community centres and pubs. Like much of the borough it has seen economic change and regeneration efforts in recent years, while continuing to attract walkers and heritage interest because of its landscape and industrial past.
