Breightmet Manchester Map

About Breightmet

Breightmet rests on the fringes of the greater Manchester sprawl, a place where the urban hum begins to soften. It lies 3.0 km north-north-west of Little Lever (from Little Lever: bearing 345°T, OS grid SD 748 101), and is situated west of Ainsworth village. The landscape here, a quiet expanse of rolling fields and scattered woodland, often catches the late afternoon sun, bathing the brickwork of its homes in a gentle, honeyed light. Once, perhaps, this land echoed with the labours of agriculture, the scent of turned earth hanging heavy, and though the fields have largely given way to more settled dwellings, a certain pastoral quietude still clings to the air. The sky above Breightmet, vast and often a canvas of shifting greys and blues, lends a sense of open space to this suburban corner.
