Homes in Leyland
Leyland is best known as the home of Leyland Motors, whose truck and bus works shaped the town for most of the 20th century. The older centre around Towngate has Victorian brick terraces and some period homes, while large estates of inter-war and post-war semis fill much of the town and were built as the motor industry grew.
Leyland was included in the Central Lancashire New Town designation in 1970, and estates such as Moss Side and parts of Farington were built from the 1970s onwards, with semis, terraced townhouses and detached homes around cul-de-sacs. Further development has continued on former industrial land and on the edges of town. Worden Park is a popular green space surrounded by sought-after homes, and Lostock Hall has a mix of terraces and newer houses. Leyland's location close to the M6 and M65 makes it a convenient commuter base for Preston and Manchester.
Areas we cover include Farington, Moss Side, Lostock Hall, Worden, Earnshaw Bridge.
