About

Longton and Walmer Bridge form a compact parish area in the borough of South Ribble, Lancashire. The settlements are primarily residential with a concentrated high street of shops, a handful of pubs, and local services such as a village hall, primary schools and community-run projects. There are playing fields, allotments and small business premises that serve both local needs and light industry. A parish council oversees community events and practical matters for residents across the two villages.

Walmer Bridge takes its name from the small bridge that historically marked a crossing point and around which the settlement expanded; remains of older terraced housing and former mill-worker cottages still shape parts of the street pattern. Longton includes pockets of post-war housing and lanes lined with community facilities, and both places retain active clubs for football and bowls. Movement in and out of the area relies on local roads and bus services rather than a station within the parish, and farmland edges give way to suburban streets as the villages meet the wider borough.
