About

Horwich North is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, covering the northern part of the town of Horwich in Greater Manchester. The area is largely residential, with a mix of terraced streets from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and later housing estates. Local life orbits a compact town centre with shops, primary schools and a community centre. Playing fields and small local parks provide outdoor space, and sports clubs — including cricket and amateur football teams with roots in the town — are active anchors for community activity.

The town’s industrial past remains visible in place names and the local narrative: Horwich was home to a major locomotive works whose closure in the late 20th century prompted redevelopment of several sites. Transport links connect the ward to the wider region, with road links nearby and rail services running from Horwich Parkway. Local council services, community groups and small businesses shape everyday life, and recent housing and shopfront changes continue to alter the physical pattern of streets while existing civic institutions maintain regular events and meetings.
