Penwortham North

About

Penwortham North sits on the northern bank of the River Ribble, directly facing Preston city centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of interwar and post-war housing estates, with some modern developments. Local shopping needs are served by the Liverpool Road precinct and smaller parades. The area offers several green spaces, including Hurst Grange Park with its sports facilities and the open fields of Penwortham Holme, which borders the river.

A notable feature is the presence of the Old Tram Bridge, a wooden-decked pedestrian and cycle crossing that provides a direct, historic link over the river into Preston. The area is well-connected by main roads like Liverpool Road and the A59, facilitating commutes. Local schools and community centres, such as the Penwortham Community Centre, serve the neighbourhood's needs, creating a settled, suburban environment.
