Poolstock Manchester Map

About Poolstock

Poolstock, a quiet corner of suburban Wigan, holds its own subtle gravity. It lies 1.2 km south-south-west of Wigan (from Wigan: bearing 206°T, OS grid SD 578 045). The land here, not dramatically sculpted but possessing a certain thoughtful flatness, often catches the low, diffused light of the North West, rendering the brickwork of its dwellings in muted, earthy tones. A network of minor waterways, remnants of a more industrial past, threads through the landscape, their still surfaces reflecting the sky like polished slate. Though the grand pronouncements of history might pass it by, Poolstock carries the quiet industry of its people, a continuity felt in the steady hum of everyday life. There is a placid elegance to the way the well-tended gardens spill over low brick walls, a gentle testament to lives lived with a certain understated care.
