Whitefield is a town in Bury, known for its residential character and its proximity to the Irwell Valley Country Park and the countryside beyond. The housing is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the town centre around Bury New Road and Radcliffe New Road, and interwar and post-war semis on the wider residential streets including Moss Lane and Besses o’ th’ Barn. Whitefield has a close-knit community character and many long-term residents who have lived in the same property for decades.
