About Platt Bridge

Within the boundaries of the historic county of Lancashire, Wigan is the largest settlement in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan and its administrative centre. The town has a population of 103,608, and the wider borough of 318,100.

Historically part of the Hindley Urban District, in Lancashire, the area is now a residential suburb of Wigan.

Platt Bridge borders Abram, Bamfurlong, Hindley and Ince-in-Makerfield. Platt Bridge’s border with Bamfurlong is marked by a brook which runs under the A58 and is shown by an ancient marker stone.

Two schools in Platt Bridge, Low Hall County Primary School and Saint Nathaniel’s C.E. Primary were closed and amalgamated into a new school Platt Bridge Community School, designed by NPS and opened in November 2006. It is a modern ‘state-of-the-art’ extended school. In addition there is a Sure Start children’s centre, a family centre and a children’s and adults’ public library. On the site, there is a primary care trust health facility and a housing office.

There are four churches in the area: the parish church St Nathaniel’s (Church of England), built in 1905; Holy Family & St Wilfrid (Roman Catholic); an Independent Methodist Chapel (Methodist); and a Church of Christ (Churches of Christ).
