Wholesale and retail is the largest industry group. Private service yards and retail-park lanes can take a rising arm.

The high street itself cannot. Terraced housing leads the stock.

Street frontages are a poor place for a boom. Private yards behind that housing are the sites worth surveying.

Counts are rounded to the nearest 5 and very small cells may have been suppressed by ONS. A barrier survey is on application and only for a private lane.

This readout does not invent a business park. Other settlements with their own barrier page in North West include Hindley, Horwich, Huyton with Roby.
