Bamfurlong Manchester Map

About Bamfurlong

Bamfurlong breathes a quietude that belies its proximity to the wider industrial heartland of Lancashire. It lies 3.2 km north-east of Ashton-in-Makerfield (from Ashton-in-Makerfield: bearing 42°T, OS grid SD 598 016), and is situated north-east of Bryn Gates village. The land around Bamfurlong, a gentle sweep of fields, often catches the low afternoon sun in a pale, golden wash, lending a fleeting warmth to the often-grey skies of the North West. Though the echoes of coal mining and manufacturing may linger in the collective memory, Bamfurlong itself presents a more pastoral scene, where hedgerows still hold their shape against the prevailing winds. The small, sturdy houses, built of brick the colour of dried earth, seem to huddle together as if for company against the vastness of the open sky.
