Egerton, Greater Manchester

Egerton, (pronounced "edgerton"), is a village in the northern part of the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, Greater Manchester, England.

Egerton was originally part of the township of Turton in the ancient parish of Bolton-le-Moors and consisted of a small, remote, farming community known as Walmsley.

The more urban southern part of the district, including Egerton, was then transferred to Bolton in Greater Manchester.

Parts of Egerton were designated a conservation area by Bolton Council in 1981 to protect the character of the village.

The conservation area contains a wide variety of buildings dating from the early 19th Century to the present day.
