Welcome to Hindley Green

Hindley Green is a small village located in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Lancashire, England. The village is situated approximately 3 miles east of Wigan town centre and is bordered by the villages of Hindley, Atherton, and Westhoughton. The village has a population of around 6,000 people and is known for its strong community spirit.

Hindley Green has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Hindelegh. The village was originally a farming community, but with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, it became a centre for coal mining and cotton spinning. The village was also home to a number of collieries, including the Hindley Green Colliery, which closed in 1968. Today, the village is a mix of residential and commercial properties, with a number of local shops, pubs, and restaurants.

One of the most notable landmarks in Hindley Green is St. John's Church, which was built in 1839. The church is a Grade II listed building and is known for its impressive stained glass windows and beautiful architecture. The village also has a number of parks and green spaces, including Hindley Green Playing Fields and the Jubilee Recreation Ground. These areas provide residents with a place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, and are often used for community events and activities.
