BAMFORD, a village in the township of Birtle-cum Bamford, parish of Middleton, Lancashire; 3 miles W of Rochdale. It has a post office under Rochdale, and an Independent chapel; and its inhabitants are employed chiefly in cotton factories. Bamford Hall, the fine old seat of J. Fenton, Esq., is adjacent.
