Laterly, Orrell's proximity to the M6 and M58 contribute to it being a dormitory town with ease of access to places like Manchester and Liverpool. The Liverpool to Manchester railway line which passes through Orrell has also contributed to its popularity as an area open to new residential development.
'Orrell Mount' in the 1700's housed an establishment of French Benedictine nuns, under Madame Louise de Levis Mireoix, of Montargis, in France. They sought refuge from the French revolution and landed in Brighton in 1792, before residing in Yorkshire, then finally Orrell. The nuns were greatly respected by all due to their commitment to educating the young, and their kindness,grace and dignity.

Today, like most towns of this kind, Shevington has an active list of community events such as fetes and sports groups. Shevington has an amateur football club and a well established rugby league club, Shevington Sharks.
