Great Lever

Great Lever is a residential ward located in the southern part of Bolton. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, including terraced homes and post-war developments. Its main commercial activity is concentrated along the stretch of St Helens Road, which serves as a local high street with independent shops and essential services. The ward also contains several primary schools and community centres that serve its population.

A significant green space is the large Leverhulme Park, which provides sports facilities, playgrounds, and walking paths. The area is historically linked to the textile industry, with some former mill buildings still present in the landscape. Public transport connections, including bus routes, link Great Lever to Bolton town centre and other neighbouring districts.
