Rhodes is a small village in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, historically part of Lancashire in England. It developed during the 19th‑century textile boom and still shows traces of that industrial past in surviving mill buildings and a landscape shaped by former industry.
Sitting on the edge of the Pennines, Rhodes feels close to both moorland and the urban centres of Rochdale and Manchester, so many residents commute while enjoying a quieter, village atmosphere; local life is often centred on grassroots clubs, reused industrial sites and the surrounding countryside rather than large high‑street amenities.
