Highfield & New Bury

Highfield & New Bury is a residential district situated to the southwest of Bolton town centre. The area is primarily composed of post-war housing, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. It is bordered by major roads like St Helens Road and Chorley Old Road, which provide direct links into the central borough. Local amenities are focused along these thoroughfares, serving the everyday needs of the community.

The landscape is characterised by its proximity to several green spaces, including the playing fields of Ladybridge School. A notable local feature is the presence of the historic Smithills Coaching House, which anchors one end of the area.
