Bolton, or Bolton-le-Moors, is said to be of Saxon origin. The principal ade is the cotton manufacture and its subsidiary branches, as bleaching, calicorinting, machine-making, &c. There are above thirty coal-mines in the parish. lackrod contains a sulphur spring. The country, for six miles round Bolton, is undergone very considerable improvement within the last few years; villages ive sprung up where there was not a dwelling, and hamlets have become the at of a dense population. Within six years, five new churches have been ected in the neighbourhood of Bolton, and besides these two or three others are ojected. Bolton has a town-hall, a theatre, and assembly-rooms, numerous jurches and meeting-houses, a free grammar-school, &c. Between Bolton and ligan are found large quantities of cannel-coal, which is often manufactured to snuff-boxes, candlesticks, &c. Bolton suffered severely in the civil wars, pecially during the great siege, when Prince Rupert and the Earl of Derby ormed the town, and dislodged the Republican troops. In consequence of this hievement, the latter was beheaded in Bolton after the battle of Worcester biton returns two M.P. Pop. in 1851, 61,171. The Manchester, Bolton, ami

Bury Canal was begun in 1791, and completed soon after. About one and a half mile N.E. of Bolton, President John Bradshawe, one of the regicides, had a seat at Bradshawe Chapel. At a place called Hall-in-the-Wood, one mile from Bolton, Samuel Crompton invented the machine called the “Mule.” A railway leads from Bolton to Leigh, and thence to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, joining it at Kenyon. Leigh is seven miles from Bolton. It enjoys a considerable share of the cotton, and a portion of the silk trade. In the church there is a private chapel of the Tyldesley family, which contains the remains of Sir Thomas Tyldesley, the distinguished royalist, who fell at the battle of Wiganlane. Pop, in 1851, 5206.

The first mile of the railway between Bolton and Preston, from its junction with the Manchester and Bolton Railway, is considered a fine specimen of engineering skill. It runs through the south-west side of the town in a curve, and crosses nine streets under as many bridges. The construction of the roofs of the bridges is much admired. They consist of cast-iron beams and present a flat surface to the eye of the spectator underneath.

CHORLEY is situated on the banks of the Chor, whence it takes its name. A family of the same name held the manor of Chorley from a very early period. The staple manufactures are cotton fabrics, muslins, jaconets, and fancy articles. There are five coal-mines in the neighbourhood, and a lead-mine at Anglezarke. The old church is an ancient building. There is a grammar-school, and several churches, meeting-houses, and charitable institutions. Pop. 1851, 8907.
