Nelson (England)

Halal Explorer to Nelson Nelson is a town and civil parish in the Borough of Pendle in Lancashire. It was developed as a mill town during the industrial revolution, but today has lost much of its industry and has seen some decline in recent years.

“Nelson is undoubtedly a modern town. Fifty years ago it was entirely unknown, and no mention of it appears in any books dealing with the ancient history of the County.” — Preston Guardian, 12 February 1881

It has some of the lowest house prices in the nation. It does have some good walks and lovely parks, good access to recreational activities and good transport links.

Nelson is minutes by vehicle to some breathtaking countryside such as Barley, Roughlee and Newchurch which are steeped in history, provide excellent walks and some fine country pubs.  A beautiful view of Pendle Hill can be seen from many areas of Nelson.

Stay Safe

Backstreet off Edward Street - - 1584818 - Backstreet off Edward Street

There are some rough areas as in any town but people are generally friendly and welcoming.

It is generally safe in the town centre at night which is mainly because there isn't much going on and there are a couple of pubs one of which is fronted by the pedestrianised town centre area which has smokers hanging around the front entrance while they smoke, Nelson has many hot food takeaways with late night opening which generates lots of traffic and parked vehicle mayhem but in general is very safe.
