About Abram

Abram is a small township east of Wigan with a predominantly terraced and semi-detached housing stock reflecting its coal mining heritage. Flat topography provides straightforward solar installation conditions with many south-facing roof pitches. Abram's community of owner-occupiers is growing as former mining estates are sold off, and competitive installer quotes benefit from strong local Wigan installer presence.

Abram is located approximately 3.5 miles from Wigan town centre, within the Wigan borough of Wigan. The area uses WN2 postcodes and has a population of around 7,000. A573 road; bus connections to Wigan town centre
