Westhoughton North & Hunger Hill

The Westhoughton North & Hunger Hill ward lies in the southwestern part of the Bolton metropolitan area. It is primarily a residential district characterised by a mix of housing, from older terraced homes to more recent developments. The area is bordered by open countryside to the west and south, providing a clear transition from town to rural landscapes. Local amenities and services are concentrated along main routes like Church Street and Market Street, serving the community's daily needs.

A notable local landmark is the distinctive red brick tower of St. Bartholomew's Church, which overlooks the area. The ward includes several green spaces, such as the rec on Cricketers Way, and is home to Westhoughton Cricket Club, with a history dating back over a century. The layout reflects its development from a former coal mining and textile community into a modern suburb, while retaining its own separate town identity within the wider borough.
