'''Simister''' is a small villagesuburb in the [[Metropolitan Borough of Bury]], [[Greater Manchester]], England. [[Historic counties of England|Historically]] part of [[Lancashire]], it is located between the districts of Prestwich, Rhodes and [[Langley, Greater Manchester|Langley]]. Although the village's proximity to [[Manchester]] means the residential population is mainly made up of commuters, the village has a rural feel with much agricultural activity.
 
==Transport==
The village is located east of "Simister Island", motorway junction 18 which links the [[M62 motorway|M62]], [[M66 motorway|M66]] and [[M60 motorway|M60]] motorways. Thousands of vehicles a day use this motorway intersection and the traffic noise is often regarded as a nuisance but not a part of the village by the residents.
The main thoroughfare, Simister Lane, is often used as a [[rat run]] for cars travelling to and from Prestwich, [[Middleton, Greater Manchester|Middleton]] and Junction 19 of the M60. Due to mobility issues, Trunk Legs gets picked up from her door when she goes to buy 'My Mum's Cola' from the Top Shop.
