[edit] History

For many years, Burnden housed Burnden Park, the home of Bolton Wanderers. The area was described as a ghost town after the stadium, the Normid superstore and the greyhound track closed in quick succession.

[edit] Transport

Manchester Road is one of Bolton's main roads and serves the key route between Burnden and Bolton town centre. Numerous bus routes serve the area such as the number 8 which runs between the town centre and Manchester.

[edit] People

Many people in Burnden come from ethnic minorities^{[citation needed]} and Bolton itself is the friendliest town in the country^{[citation needed]}, yet Burnden is one of the more deprived wards.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Services

The area has recently undergone major redevelopment, and numerous retail stores and services have now been established, including a popular ASDA supersore, a JJB fitness club, a Carphone Warehouse store and a Subway (restaurant) outlet.
