Map of the UK

Brunshaw is a mainly residential area on the southern side of Burnley in Lancashire, England. It is characterised by a mix of post‑war council and traditional terraced housing, local shops, schools and community centres, with easy access to nearby green spaces and the Pennine foothills that frame the town.

Like much of Burnley, Brunshaw’s history and identity are shaped by the legacy of the cotton and textile era and later industrial decline, followed by ongoing regeneration and community‑led initiatives. The neighbourhood benefits from practical road and public transport links into the town, and sits close to elements of the wider industrial heritage such as the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the River Calder, while hosting a diverse local population and active neighbourhood groups.
