Farnworth North

Farnworth North ward lies in the eastern part of the town of Farnworth, within the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of traditional terraced housing and more modern developments. Local shopping needs are served by several district parades along major routes like Plodder Lane and Albert Road, which also host essential community services. The ward includes significant green spaces such as The Elms and Moses Gate Country Park, which provides access to the Crompton Lodges and the River Croal.

The landscape is shaped by its industrial past, with the ward historically centred on textile manufacturing and coal mining. This heritage is reflected in the remaining mill architecture and the layout of the communities. A notable local landmark is the Grade II listed St. John the Evangelist Church, with its distinctive stone spire visible across the area. Public transport links, including bus corridors to Bolton and Manchester, are a key feature of daily life for many residents commuting for work and education.
