Swinley is an urban suburb of Wigan, Greater Manchester. The area was mainly developed during the late Victorian and Edwardian period from around 1885 up until the end of the interwar period upon a green corridor centred on the section of the Chester to Lancaster Roman Road named Wigan Lane which leads northwards from the original 1246 Royal Charter boundary of the Borough of Wigan towards the parish of Standish between neighbouring industrial areas of mills, mines and ironworks. It originally featured a hodgepodge development of villa's, flats and large town houses on what was then open fields, later stages of development during the interwar period infilled with terraces. The area to the east of Wigan Lane abuting Douglas Valley retains this exclusive character with properties selling from £500,000 to over a million.
