Netherton is a ward in the borough of Hyndburn in Lancashire, England, located close to the town of Accrington and set within the rolling foothills of the Pennines. The area is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing, interspersed with small parks and community facilities which give it a suburban, village‑like feel.
Historically the locality shares the wider borough’s ties to the textile and engineering industries, and remnants of former mills and workers’ housing still shape the streetscape.
