Welcome to Newhey

Newhey is a small village located in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Lancashire, England. The village is situated on the River Beal, which flows through the village and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, dating back to the 13th century when it was known as New Hey. The village was originally a farming community, but with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, it became a centre for textile production.

One of the most notable landmarks in Newhey is the Newhey Viaduct, which was built in 1840 to carry the Manchester to Leeds railway line over the River Beal. The viaduct is an impressive structure, standing at 120 feet high and 1,640 feet long. It is a Grade II listed building and is considered to be one of the finest examples of railway architecture in the country. The viaduct is still in use today and is a popular spot for photographers and walkers.

Newhey is also home to several pubs and restaurants, including the Newhey Lodge, which is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The village has a strong sense of community, with several local events taking place throughout the year, including the Newhey Carnival and the Newhey Christmas Lights Switch-On. The village is also home to several sports clubs, including Newhey Cricket Club and Newhey Football Club, which both have a long and proud history in the village.
