AdBlue repair in Atherton
Coal mining and nail manufacture were part of Atherton from the 14th century, and the town was a key part of the Manchester Coalfield during the Industrial Revolution.

Today Atherton, historically in Lancashire, is the third-largest retail centre in the Borough of Wigan, and some significant manufacturing remains. It lies 5 miles south of Bolton, 7 miles east of Wigan and 10 miles north-west of Manchester. Its postcode districts are M46, M29, BL5 and WN7. Tyldesley is just 2.6 km away, Westhoughton 3 km and Leigh 4.2 km. The M61 is the motorway listed nearby; if an AdBlue warning comes on, Rivington Services on the M61 is 9.9 km away.
