Shawclough

Shawclough is a mainly residential area north of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England.

House building over the past 30 years has significantly reduced green spaces, though Healey Dell and Falinge Park are notable areas within Shawclough.

Industry in the area is low level, though, at one time, manufacturing did take place at the Turner Brothers Asbestos Company in the near vicinity.

Shawclough is part of the Healey parish district of Rochdale.

The area was later served by a cotton-waste spinning mill, utilising tandem compound steam engines created by McNaught's in 1907 and Openshaw's M. E. Robinson in 1912.
