Bolton

Bolton is a former cotton town in the foothills of the West Pennine Moors, north west of Manchester, with a grand town hall at its centre. Its history lives on at Smithills Hall and at Hall i' th' Wood, once home of the spinning mule inventor Samuel Crompton. Bolton Wanderers play at their stadium in Horwich, where Rivington Pike and the moors rise just beyond the town, and Westhoughton and Farnworth complete the borough. This page brings together the latest cheering stories from Bolton's people, schools and clubs.
