About

Gilnow & Victory is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, Greater Manchester. The area contains a mix of residential streets, pockets of former millland now in commercial use, and short rows of local shops and services along its main roads. Public amenities include primary schools, community centres and health clinics that serve the local population. Transport links run through the ward, with local bus routes connecting residents to Bolton town centre and the regional road network.

Street patterns show the town's industrial past: terraced houses built in the 19th century sit beside larger plots that once held textile workshops and warehouses, some of which have been adapted for light industry or community use. Small public green spaces and play areas are woven between housing estates, and several long-established family-run businesses operate from converted yards and artisan units. The ward’s layout reflects layers of development from the mid-1800s to post-war housing, making the everyday streetscape a record of local change.
