Winstanley

The Winstanley area lies on the southwestern edge of Wigan, bordered by open countryside and the M6 motorway. It is a primarily residential district, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and older, more established properties. The local road network connects it directly to the town centre and major transport routes, facilitating commuting. Much of its identity is tied to the historic Winstanley Hall estate, whose grounds influence the area's layout.

The remains of the moated Winstanley Hall, a former manor house dating to the 16th century, sit within a public park. This green space, with its woodland and ponds, provides a focal point for the community. The area is served by several local schools and convenience shops catering to daily needs. Residential streets are generally quiet, with the surrounding farmland contributing to a less urban atmosphere compared to central Wigan neighbourhoods.
