Gannow is an electoral ward in the north‑eastern part of Burnley in Lancashire, England. It is largely residential, with a mix of older terraced housing from the town’s industrial heyday and more recent developments, and lies within easy reach of the town centre and the nearby Pennines, giving residents quick access to both urban amenities and countryside walks.
The area reflects Burnley’s industrial heritage while undergoing gradual change: local shops, community centres and voluntary groups are active, and there have been ongoing regeneration efforts to improve housing and public spaces. A diverse population and good road and rail connections mean the ward combines a strong local community feel with practical links into the wider Lancashire economy.
