St. Oswald's is an electoral ward in the borough of Hyndburn in Lancashire, England, occupying a largely residential area with a mix of Victorian terraces, post‑war housing and pockets of former mill land. It sits close to the small industrial towns of Accrington and Oswaldtwistle, so the local streets still bear the imprint of the region’s textile history alongside newer housing and small retail parades.
The ward has a strong local identity, with community centres, churches and sports clubs playing an active role, and occasional regeneration projects aimed at improving employment and public spaces. Good road links make commuting to nearby centres such as Blackburn and Burnley straightforward, and residents often make use of nearby attractions and heritage sites like Oswaldtwistle Mills for leisure and tourism.
