Welcome to Lostock

Lostock is a suburban area located in the north-west of Greater Manchester, England. It is situated between the towns of Bolton and Westhoughton and is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton. The area is known for its beautiful green spaces, including the Lostock Park and the Doffcocker Lodge Nature Reserve. Lostock is also home to several schools, including the Lostock Primary School and the Bolton School, which is a prestigious independent school.

The area has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. The name Lostock is believed to have originated from the Old English words "lost" and "stoc," meaning a place where cattle were kept. In the 19th century, Lostock became a popular destination for wealthy industrialists who built large mansions in the area. Today, many of these historic buildings have been converted into apartments and are popular with young professionals and families.

Lostock is well-connected to the rest of Greater Manchester, with easy access to the M61 motorway and several train stations, including Lostock railway station and Horwich Parkway railway station. The area is also home to several shops, restaurants, and pubs, making it a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
