About

Astley, Blackmoor & Mosley Common sits in the southern part of the Wigan borough and takes in a mix of former mining settlements and stretches of open land. The area includes the village of Astley and the community of Mosley Common, where terraces and rows from the 19th and 20th centuries sit beside more recent housing. Colliery structures are part of the local fabric; Astley Green Colliery Museum, with its preserved colliery headgear and beam engine, occupies a former pit site and records the industrial past. Local shops, schools and community centres serve the neighbourhoods clustered along the main local roads.

Open ground and pockets of mossland remain between built-up streets, with footpaths and rights of way used for walking and birdwatching. Small playing fields, allotments and community green spaces provide recreation close to homes, and traces of the mining era appear in spoil tips and adapted buildings. Public transport links connect the area to central Wigan and neighbouring towns while local clubs and volunteer groups run activities for residents.
