About

Hindley Green is a residential area located to the south of Wigan, bordering the town of Leigh. The area is characterised by its mixture of housing, from interwar semis to more modern estates, set along quiet, tree-lined streets.

The landscape is punctuated by several pockets of green space, including the playing fields at St John's CE Primary School. A notable local feature is the presence of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which runs along the area's eastern edge, providing a route for walking and cycling away from the main roads.
