Huncoat is a ward and village on the eastern edge of Accrington within the borough of Hyndburn in Lancashire, England. It sits on the East Lancashire Line with a small local station and is close to the M65, making it a convenient place for commuters heading to nearby centres such as Blackburn and Burnley.
Historically the community grew up around coal mining and local industry in the 19th and 20th centuries, and traces of that industrial past remain alongside modern industrial estates and residential neighbourhoods. Village life is still shaped by community groups, sports clubs and local pubs, giving Huncoat a distinct local identity within the post‑industrial landscape of east Lancashire.
