Bromley Cross

Bromley Cross ward lies in the northern part of the Bolton metropolitan borough, characterised by residential neighbourhoods and local commercial centres. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. It is bordered by open countryside and green spaces, including parts of the West Pennine Moors, which influence its semi-rural atmosphere. Local amenities and schools serve the community directly within the ward's boundaries.

A notable local landmark is the Bromley Cross railway station, providing a direct link to Manchester. The area includes the grounds of Turton Tower, a historic manor house with surrounding woodland. The ward's layout incorporates several smaller districts and maintains a distinct separation from the more urban centre of Bolton to the south, reinforced by the presence of the River Tonge and its valley.
