It comes under the administration of Whaley Bridge town council[2] and has a population of approximately 1,500.[3]
The village has a small community primary school for boys and girls aged 4–11. For secondary education, children travel to Chapel-en-le-Frith, New Mills, Hope Valley or Buxton. There is one pub, The Crossing (the Soldier Dick on the A6 closed in 2022[4][5]), a social club, a railway station and a fish and chip shop. The post office closed around 2015 and has been converted into a domestic dwelling. The social club is now used as a post office twice a week.
Since 2008, the village has hosted a free music event on its football field in order to raise funds for the development of the field itself. It is held on a Saturday during the summer months and is organised by a committee of local residents.
The village football side, Furness Vale Rovers F.C., entered the 1886–87 FA Cup, losing in the first round.[6]
