South Middleton is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester, sitting to the south of Rochdale town centre. It is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and later council and private housing, local shops, community centres and parks, and decent bus links into Rochdale and on towards Manchester.
The area reflects the borough’s industrial past, with former mill sites and small industrial estates now mingling with newer commercial development; social and economic conditions vary street by street, and active neighbourhood groups, schools and green spaces give the ward a community-focused character.
