Brookfield is an electoral ward on the eastern side of Preston in Lancashire, England. It is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing, local parades of shops and a scattering of green spaces and playing fields. Good local bus links into the city centre make it convenient for commuters, while quieter streets give it a suburban feel.
Historically the ward developed as Preston expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries and it retains a community‑minded character: active residents’ groups, local schools and grassroots sports clubs are prominent. The economy is focused on local retail, services and some light industrial estates nearby, and a diverse population contributes to a practical, down‑to‑earth social life rather than a tourist or leisure focus.
