About Platt Bridge
Platt Bridge is 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Wigan town centre along the spine of the A573 road. Historically part of Hindley Urban District, in Lancashire, the area is now a residential suburb. The name comes from “plat” meaning a foot-bridge. Two railways pass through the area; one, the West Coast Main Line, the other a disused industrial line.
