About

Abram & Bickershaw form a residential area on the southeastern edge of Wigan, characterised by terraced housing and green spaces that reflect the area's historical mining past. The landscape is defined by the presence of former colliery sites, some of which have been reclaimed as public parkland, offering walking paths and open fields. The community is served by local shops and amenities along Warrington Road, with a strong sense of local identity tied to its industrial heritage.

A notable local feature is the Bickershaw Colliery spoil heap, now a prominent, vegetated hill known locally as "The Mound," which provides views across the surrounding plains. The area includes several smaller neighbourhoods and is bordered by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, adding a linear waterway to the scenery. Abram Flash, a body of water formed by mining subsidence, attracts birdlife and walkers on its fringes, integrating natural elements within the post-industrial setting.
