About

Ashurst is a residential area inside Skelmersdale in West Lancashire, centred on a network of streets around Ashurst Road and Ashurst Way. Housing is a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes, local shops and small parade centres serve day-to-day needs, and a primary school and community hall act as focal points. Public transport links run to the town centre and nearby employment areas, while bus stops and cycle routes sit close to most streets. Footpaths and small play spaces are woven through the neighbourhood, providing short walks between homes and services.

The area reflects Skelmersdale’s post‑war planning: pedestrian routes are often separated from through roads, with underpasses and planted corridors connecting estates to green space. That layout puts allotments, playing fields and wooded strips within easy walking distance of many houses. Community groups use the hall and green verges for events and seasonal projects, and local volunteers maintain flower beds and pocket parks that sit at the end of several cul‑de‑sacs. Overall Ashurst functions as a compact residential quarter within the town.
