Living in Bolton
Bolton or locally is a town in Greater Manchester in North West England. Bolton has some stunning countryside and is ideally located close to the scenic West Pennine Moors, it is 10 miles northwest of the city of Manchester and surrounded by several smaller towns and villages which together form the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton.
The economy in Bolton has seen some major changes as it was once a major area for the textile industry. By 1911 the textile industry in Bolton employed about 36,000 people. The last mill to be constructed was Sir John Holden’s Mill in 1927. The cotton industry declined from the 1920s. A brief upturn after the Second World War was not sustained, and the industry had virtually vanished by the end of the 20th century.
In the last quarter of the 20th century heavy industry was replaced by service-based activities including data processing, call centres, hi-tech electronics and IT companies.
The town retains some traditional industries employing people in paper-manufacturing, packaging, textiles, transportation, steel foundries and building materials. Bolton is the home of the family bakery, Warburtons , established in 1876 on Blackburn Road . Bolton attracts visitors to its shopping centres, markets, public houses, restaurants and cafes in the town centre as well retail parks and leisure facilities close to the town centre and in the surrounding towns and suburbs. Tourism plays a part in the economy, visitor attractions include Hall i’ th’ Wood , Smithills Hall and Country Park, Last Drop Village , Barrow Bridge and the Bolton Steam Museum .
There are several regeneration projects planned for Bolton over the next ten years, including Church Wharf by Ask Developments and Bluemantle and Merchant’s Quarter by local developer Charles Topham group, which together will contribute 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2) of business space. The Bolton Innovation Zone is a large £300 million development with the University of Bolton at its core. Now is an ideal time to purchase and move to Bolton as once this these new regeneration projects are finished Bolton will be the place to move to which in turn will increase house prices in Bolton.
