Staghills

Church of St Mary, St Mary's Way, Rawtenstall Grade II Listed church dated on the tower 1837 and 1881 when the tower was built and the west end refaced. The foundation stone was laid on 7th March 1836 by Mrs. Hoyle. By January 1838 the Church was complete enough to be used for public services and then formally opened 15th March. The Bishop of Chester consecrated it on 20th September 1838. A previous clock was added in 1853 at a cost of £120. The tower, then at the west end, was determined to be taken down in 1880 and re-erected on the south side of the Church allowing the Church to be extended westward. A cut away in the north gallery allowed for installation of a new organ that completed installation in April 1883. The organ was built by Hill and Son and possibly a copy of a Cavaillé-Coll. In 2006 it was described as 'deteriorated badly'. The clock tower was completed in September 1888. The first vicar was Rev. William Whitworth 1838-1847. The church has eight bells by Mears & Stainbank, seven 1888 and one 1887.

Longholme Wesleyan Methodist chapel, Bacup Road, Rawtenstall Grade II Listed chapel, 1841-2 by James Simpson of Leeds. This third Longholme Chapel was decided upon in 1839 the same year as the first resident Minister, the Reverend James Wilson was appointed. The 1300 seat £7,000 chapel was opened on 18th March 1842. The previous chapel was demolished to make way for a new Sunday School used until 1956. The school was demolished in 1962 and this chapel was then re-constructed inside with the organ and pulpit being removed and the gallery space filled in, allowing the church to be moved onto the upper level and the lower level being turned into a general use area. The chapel re-opened in this form in April 1962. In 2009 the chapel received a £10,000 grant from the National Churches Trust for repair work.

The Picture House, Bacup Road, Rawtenstall The Picture House was opened on 29th December 1920. Taken over by Star Cinemas in December 1960 they closed it in 1975. Soon after it was split into 4 screens by Unit Four Cinemas and renamed accordingly. Unit Four Cinema closed on 10th May 1984. It was reopened by an independent operator, but operating just one 121 seat screen and a snooker club. Two further changes of operator followed and it finally closed in early 1996. It was converted into an indoor market and a snooker club. The OS map currently describes it as 'Heritage Arcade' a description in current use. Plans for a fast food outlet, nightclub or leisure centre in the early 21st century came to nothing and it is currently planned to convert it and adjacent buildings to 42 apartments. Designed by the Baldwin Design Consultancy many of its Art Deco features including the prominent façade would be retained.
