Talk:Horwich

Struggling to find a map of the area at present - I think it would be useful to counter the Chorley New/Chorley Old issue. Any ideas? --Nicholasjf21 (talk) 01:26, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Merge?

In Feb 2020, discussion is under way on merging pages for some of the small towns around Manchester. See Manchester / Talk if you can contribute to this.

For Horwich, the suggestion is to merge it into Bolton - it is part of that borough. The original town has eating and drinking places but no accommodation and not much to see or do. Three miles south (yet without direct public transport) is the Middlebrook retail and leisure park: Bolton Wanderers are the anchor development here, tho heading rapidly to the sea bed. There's a cluster of hotels, a cinema and bowling alley. My impression is there'd be no gain to the reader or prospective visitor by merger or other reorganisation so I now propose leaving it status quo. Any other views?

I'd feel comfortable seeing this merged into Bolton. There's very little here, and a rubbish football club and retail park (with Old Trafford and the Trafford Centre just down the road) don't change that. Though I would say that I don't know the area, so might not be doing it justice.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 21:47, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
