About Middleton and the 0161 Area Code
Middleton is a historic town in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, situated approximately five miles north of Manchester city centre. The town has a distinguished history stretching back to Saxon times, and the Parish Church of St Leonard contains remarkable medieval woodwork, including the unique Fleetwood Pew and the Middleton Archers window, which commemorates local bowmen who fought at the Battle of Flodden in 1513.
The town developed as a significant textile centre during the Industrial Revolution, and Samuel Bamford, the radical reformer and poet who participated in the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, was a Middleton man. Today, Middleton's town centre features the Middleton Shopping Centre and a traditional market, while the Middleton Arena provides entertainment and community facilities. The nearby Alkrington Woods offer pleasant green spaces.
Middleton benefits from good road connections via the M60 and M62 motorways and regular bus services to Manchester, Rochdale, and Oldham. With a population of around 45,000, Middleton offers businesses a substantial and loyal north Manchester customer base with strong community identity.
