About Pickley Green

The character of Pickley Green is shaped by its proximity to the urban sprawl of Greater Manchester, yet it retains a distinctly suburban feel. It lies 2.0 km north-north-west of Leigh (from Leigh: bearing 342°T, OS grid SD 650 021). Historically, the landscape around Pickley Green would have been predominantly agricultural, with farming forming the backbone of the local economy for centuries. Today, while pockets of open land persist, Pickley Green is largely a residential area, serving as a dormitory for those working in nearby towns and cities. The architecture reflects this evolution, with a mix of older farmsteads and more modern housing developments. Despite its suburban nature, Pickley Green benefits from its position within the wider Wigan district, offering residents access to a range of amenities and transport links.
