About Barrow Bridge

Barrow Bridge is a small settlement located in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, within Greater Manchester, England. It lies just south of the town of Wigan and is part of the BL1 postcode area. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of terraced and semi-detached houses, and is situated close to the River Douglas. The name derives from a historic bridge that once carried a local road over the river, though the original structure has since been replaced. The surrounding landscape is largely flat and rural, with open fields and scattered woodland. Barrow Bridge is well connected by road, with the A580 East Lancashire Road running nearby, providing access to nearby towns and cities. It remains a quiet, community-focused area with a strong sense of local identity.
