About

Platt Bridge and Spring View sit in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, historically part of Lancashire. The area is largely residential, with rows of late 19th- and early 20th-century terraced houses alongside post-war council estates. Local life centres on small shops, primary schools and community halls that serve day-to-day needs. The landscape still bears traces of its coal-mining past: the street pattern and several road names reflect the former pits that shaped development and employment for generations.

Public transport links connect the neighbourhood to nearby town centres, and bus corridors run through the area at regular intervals. Pockets of green space and pocket parks provide places for walks and play, while volunteers and local groups run youth and neighbourhood activities from the community buildings. Spring View sits as a compact residential enclave adjoining Platt Bridge, and the combination of built form and community facilities gives the area a clear local identity within Wigan borough.
