	Rawtenstall is the main shopping centre in the valley with various high street chains present along Bank St. Until recently the skyline was dominated by mills and their chimneys, however since the recent completion of the new ASDA this monstrosity has been by far and away the most noticeable landmark. Due to the recent reworking of the road system in Rawtenstall there are now more sets of traffic lights than people with jobs.

-Most of the housing in the town comprises of 60's and 70's Semis and terraced housing built to house mill workers. One estate of particular note is Hall Carr, which is situated above the old ASDA site. This estate is home to most of the towns criminals as indicated on 5 July '05 when a resident decided to shoot a policeman.

 Rawtenstall marks the most Northerly point of the East Lancs Railway which once continued through to [[Bacup]] and carried [[BRGS]] pupils to school up until 1972. It now runs a rip-off service from Rawtenstall to Bury. The railway is now open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights all the way the to Heywood.
-Rawtenstall due to its central location for BRGS students means it is often chosen for nights out especially Thursdays at the[Rhythm Station. There are many pubs in and around Rawtenstall with The Shepherds being popular for its 6-7pm 'happy hour' on a Friday night. On other nights Queens, The Rams Head and Madisons are more popular choices.

 Rawtenstall is also renowned for the awful bus station, which is essentially a large metal and perspex corridor that smells of urine. Repeated attempts to have a new one built have come to nothing.
