About

Farnworth North is the northern part of Farnworth in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, Greater Manchester. The area is mainly residential with terraced streets and some post-war housing estates, supported by local shops, community centres and primary schools. The River Croal runs through the neighbourhood and is culverted beneath parts of the town centre, a feature that still shapes street layouts and flood management. Small patches of public green space and former mill sites mark the pattern of nineteenth-century industry that once concentrated along the valley.

Local employment mixes small businesses, light industrial units and services clustered near the main road corridor. Bus routes link Farnworth North with Bolton town centre and destinations toward Manchester, with the main road carrying most of that traffic. Community groups use church halls and community buildings for activities, and regeneration work has focused on converting older mill buildings for new uses. Day-to-day life revolves around neighbourhood shops, schools and streets shaped by the river valley.
