Sharoe Green is a predominantly residential ward on the northern edge of Preston in Lancashire, England, forming part of the suburban Fulwood area. It has a leafy, low‑rise character with pockets of post‑war and later private housing, local shops and schools, and good links into the city centre; the presence of Royal Preston Hospital nearby means health and social care are significant local employers.
The ward takes its name from the former Sharoe Green hospital site and has retained a quiet, community‑focused feel, with parks, scouts and sports clubs and active residents’ groups. Its mix of families and older residents, together with easy road and bus connections, gives it the steady, suburban atmosphere typical of outer‑city wards rather than a busy commercial centre.
