Bolton

Westhoughton and the places nearby.

Westhoughton is a town between Bolton and Wigan, historically a weaving and mining town known for the Pretoria Pit disaster. It has grown with new estates and has good road and rail links into Manchester. Customers are a mix of long-standing families and commuters, so a business that names areas such as Daisy Hill, Wingates and Chequerbent comes across as properly local.

The nearest towns in the same council area are Horwich (4 miles) and Bolton (4 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Leigh (4 miles), Wigan (4 miles), Adlington (6 miles) and Newton-le-Willows (8 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.

Daisy Hill, Wingates, Chequerbent, Over Hulton, Four Gates and Hart Common: if you work in particular parts of Westhoughton, those names belong on the site.

Westhoughton (postcode area BL) sits about 200 miles north of Exeter.
