About Orrell Post

Orrell Post lies in the Wigan district, a part of Greater Manchester in England's North West. It lies 4.8 km east-south-east of Skelmersdale (from Skelmersdale: bearing 103°T, OS grid SD 534 050), and is situated east of Up Holland village. The gentle slopes surrounding Orrell Post, often softened by a pearly light that seems to emanate from the very air, hint at a landscape shaped by agricultural pasts, where fields once stretched in ordered swathes. Though now primarily a residential area, the echoes of its former industrial life, a time when the land yielded more than just crops, can still be felt in the quiet resilience of its streets. The sky above Orrell Post, vast and often painted with the subtle hues of an English afternoon, offers a sense of expansive calm, a quiet counterpoint to the daily comings and goings.
