Bolton is a town in Greater Manchester at the foot of the West Pennine Moors, with a long history as a centre of cotton milling. The town centre has a Victorian town hall, a covered market and new development around the station. Horwich, Westhoughton, Farnworth and Blackrod surround it, along with some of the best moorland walking in the North West. Employment now includes health, education, retail and logistics.
