Bradley

Bradley ward covers a residential area on the eastern edge of Nelson, characterised by terraced housing and local amenities serving the community. The landscape slopes upwards from the town centre, with streets offering views across the Pendle Valley. Local shopping parades provide essential services, and the ward includes several places of worship and community centres that anchor daily life.

The ward is defined by its proximity to the open moorland of Pendle Hill, with its western slopes forming a clear rural boundary. This creates a distinct transition from urban to upland landscape. Recreational walking routes begin directly from the residential streets, leading into the extensive network of public footpaths that cross the surrounding farmland and hillsides.
