About

The Black Lane area is located in the northern part of Bury, Greater Manchester. It is primarily a residential district characterised by terraced and semi-detached housing built from the local brick. The streets follow a straightforward grid pattern, with several small local shops and takeaways serving the immediate community. Green space is provided by the nearby Clarence Park, which offers playing fields and a playground.

The area is situated close to the town centre's larger retail and transport links. A notable local landmark is the former Bury Union Workhouse, a substantial Victorian building on Rochdale Old Road that now forms part of Fairfield General Hospital. This gives the area a direct connection to Bury's 19th-century industrial and social history. The residential streets remain quiet, with daily life centred on the practical needs of the neighbourhood.
