About

Marsden & Southfield is a predominantly residential ward located on the western edge of Nelson in the borough of Pendle. The area is characterised by terraced housing built from the local dark stone, with streets following the contours of the hillside. It sits adjacent to the open moorland of Boulsworth Hill, which provides a stark rural boundary. The ward functions largely as a commuter area for the town centre and nearby industrial estates.

The landscape is defined by its steep topography, with roads like Southfield Lane climbing sharply from the town. This elevation offers extensive views across the Pendle valley. A notable local feature is the Marsden Park tram shelter, a preserved structure hinting at the area's historical transport links. Community life centres around several schools, local shops along Halifax Road, and the park itself, which includes bowling greens and playgrounds.
