About

Harper Green is an area of Farnworth in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, Greater Manchester. It is mainly residential, with a mix of nineteenth- and twentieth-century housing surrounding a small commercial parade and local services. The area gives its name to Harper Green School on Harper Green Road, which acts as a local landmark and hosts sports pitches used by community clubs. Street patterns reflect the old lanes that linked Farnworth with neighbouring suburbs, and the toponym refers to a former communal green that once lay at the heart of the settlement.

Local life is centred on the school, a handful of shops and community groups that run activities from village halls and church rooms. Regular bus services run through the area, providing direct links to Bolton town centre and onward connections into central Manchester. Small public parks and sports fields offer outdoor space close to homes, while volunteers and residents’ associations organise seasonal events and practical schemes such as litter picks and community gardening.
