About

Barnoldswick South is a residential district on the western edge of the town, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and older terraced homes. The area is largely defined by its proximity to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which forms a green corridor along its northern boundary. Local amenities are centred around the main thoroughfares, providing practical services for the community. The landscape gradually rises, offering views towards the surrounding Pennine foothills.

The area's industrial heritage is subtly present, with some former textile mills repurposed for modern light industry and storage. A notable local feature is the Bancroft Mill Engine Trust, where a preserved steam engine is occasionally in steam. Open spaces include the recreation ground off West Close Road, used for sports and leisure. The community is served by several primary schools, reinforcing its settled, family-oriented character.
