About

Peel ward covers a central portion of Accrington, the main town of the Hyndburn borough. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing typical of the region's industrial past. Its streets are arranged on a sloping grid pattern, with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal forming a distinct boundary along its western edge. The local economy is supported by a mix of independent shops and small service businesses along its main thoroughfares.

The ward is anchored by the substantial Peel Park, a large public green space that provides recreational facilities. Accrington Victoria Community Hospital is a key local institution serving the wider area. Transport links are defined by the presence of the A680 Manchester Road, a major route through the town. The architectural presence of several former mill buildings, now often repurposed, reflects the area's historical foundation in textile manufacturing.
