Pendlebury is a town in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England.[1] The population at the 2011 Census was 13,069.[2] It lies 4 miles (6 km) north-west of Manchester, 3 miles (5 km) north-west of Salford and 6 miles (10 km) south-east of Bolton.
Historically in Lancashire, Pendlebury, together with the neighbouring settlements of Swinton and Clifton, formed the municipal borough of Swinton and Pendlebury.[1] Pendlebury saw extensive coal extraction from several collieries until the closure of Agecroft Colliery in the 1990s.
