In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Hollingworth like this:
HOLLINGWORTH, a place on the E border of Lancashire; near the Manchester and Leeds railway, and under Blackstone-Edge, 3 miles NE of Rochdale. A large reservoir is here, on which a small steamer plies, and where pleasure-boats are lent on hire.
Hollingworth is now part of ROCHDALE District. Click here for graphs and data of how ROCHDALE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Hollingworth itself, go to Statistics.
