Around Horwich.
Horwich lies beneath Rivington Pike on the western edge of Bolton, and grew around the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway locomotive works, whose site is now being turned into housing. The Middlebrook retail park and Bolton Wanderers' stadium sit just outside the old centre. Young families on newer estates sit alongside older terraces close to the moors. A site that names Horwich, Blackrod and Lostock, rather than Bolton as a whole, catches the way people here search.
Closest to Horwich within Bolton: Westhoughton (4 miles) and Bolton (5 miles). Just over the council boundary, Adlington (2 miles), Wigan (5 miles), Chorley (5 miles) and Leigh (7 miles) are close by. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
Inside Horwich, the site can name areas such as Blackrod, Middlebrook, Rivington and Lostock.
