Darcy Lever
Lying centrally between Breightmet in the north,
Moses Gate to the south west, and
Little Lever in the south east, this is the
point where the River Tonge meets the River Croal below
Leverhulme Park.
Betweek Darcy Lever and Breightmet are some sports fields, and a number of
local sports clubs use them. One such is the Bolton Country Bears Football
Club, http://www.bcbfc.co.uk/
