Shear Brow & Corporation Park is an electoral ward in Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire, sitting immediately to the north-east of Blackburn town centre. The ward includes the Victorian Corporation Park - a mid‑19th century public park with lawns, flowerbeds and a bandstand - plus the residential area around Shear Brow, with easy walking access to the Blackburn Railway Station and the River Darwen corridor.
The area mixes historic industrial heritage - former mill terraces and worker housing - with pockets of modern regeneration, small shops and community facilities. Corporation Park acts as a social and cultural focal point, hosting local events and providing green space for a diverse local population, while the ward reflects wider social contrasts in Blackburn with Darwen, including active community groups tackling deprivation and promoting neighbourhood renewal.
