Rossendale is a district with borough status in Lancashire, England, holding a number of small former mill towns centred on the valley of the River Irwell in the industrial North West. Rossendale combines modest size urban development with rural villages and is immediately south of the more populated town of Burnley, east of Blackburn and north of Bolton, Bury, Manchester and Rochdale, centred 15 miles (24 km) north of Manchester.
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, from the municipal boroughs of Bacup, Haslingden, Rawtenstall, part of Ramsbottom Urban District and Whitworth Urban District. Rossendale is twinned with the German town of Bocholt, located close to the Netherlands border.
The name Rossendale may also refer geographically to Rossendale Valley, and historically refers to the medieval Forest or Chase of Rossendale, which encompassed approximately the same area as the modern district. Rossendale is part of the Rossendale and Darwen constituency. Jake Berry MP has been the Member of Parliament for Rossendale and Darwen since 2010. All of Rossendale is unparished, except for Whitworth, which has a town council.
Rossendale is part of the Forest of Rossendale, which consists of the steep-sided valleys of the River Irwell and its tributaries, which flow from the Pennines southwards to Manchester and cut through the moorland which is characteristic of the area. It was given the designation of forest in medieval times denoting a hunting reserve.
The borough is linked by the motorway network to Manchester, Burnley and Blackburn via the A56/M65 and M66 motorways. Bordering Greater Manchester southwards, it is 17.4 miles to Deansgate (city centre) via the Edenfield by-pass and M66, with a journey time of around 30 minutes in a car. Alternatively the A56 route can be taken via Edenfield, Walmersley, Bury centre, Whitefield, Prestwich and Broughton.
Rossendale is the home to a large community of artists with several painters' studios, many of which are centred on the area around Waterfoot. Rossendale's only traditional Theatre is in Bacup . The Royal Court Theatre first opened in 1893 and has a thriving Youth Theatre called The Rossendale Musical Theatre Academy. A theatre and arts centre known as 'The Boo' is the home of the international touring Horse and Bamboo Theatre Company who specialise in visual theatre, often using distinctive masks. The painters and other artists who make up the major studios within the valley - Globe Arts, Prospect Studio, Valley Artists, the Slipper Studio - along with the Boo, and the See Gallery in Crawshawbooth, now work together to open their studios and premises each year at the Reveal Open Studios weekend.

Run of the Living Dead - Zombie Run - Rossendale, UK
Run of The Living Dead, Rawtenstall, Rossendale
Rawtenstall, a small Town in Rossendale is the location of a recent meteor shower. Witnesses said they saw a green flaming object flying through the sky and landing somewhere in Rawtenstall town centre.
24 hours later the first reports of what seemed to be wide spread cases of family members attacking each other by biting, particularly on the head. The situation quickly spread to the streets beyond the control of the local police. With it being such an isolated place, the decision by the UK governement to make Rossendale a quarantine zone was made immediately.
The only thing that stands between you and freedom beyond the quarantine zone are zombies LOTS AND LOTS OF ZOMBIES.
