St Andrew's

St Andrew's ward lies in the western part of the town of Great Harwood within the borough of Hyndburn. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. Its streets are arranged around the central focal point of St Andrew's Church, which gives the ward its name. The local geography includes open spaces like the Memorial Park and proximity to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which runs along its northern boundary.

The ward functions as a settled community with local services concentrated along Queen Street and adjacent roads. Educational facilities are present, including St Wulstan's Roman Catholic Primary School. The area has historical roots in the textile industry, with some former mill buildings repurposed for other uses. The canal towpath provides a route for walking and cycling, connecting to the wider network.
