About

Ashton-in-Makerfield East is a residential district centred around Garswood Park and the main Liverpool Road corridor. The area consists largely of interwar and post-war housing, with local amenities and schools serving the community. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs along its northern edge, providing a green corridor for walking and cycling.

The district is notable for the former site of the large Bryn Hall Colliery, which has been reclaimed as nature areas and playing fields. This industrial heritage is reflected in the local street names and the remaining architectural fabric of the older terraced housing. The area functions as a commuter settlement, with direct road and rail links to Wigan, St Helens, and Liverpool.
