Boholt edit
[[ Bolholt is not a village, it is the name of a bleach-works. It was a bleachworks in 1818 - Bury Trade Directory - latterly in the ownership and management of Horridge and Cornall from 1878 until it closed in 1968. The Ordnance Survey Gazeteer names only one Boholt in the U.K. There are at least fourteen different spellings of the name in the I. G. I., but the etymology of the name is quite unknown. To what purposes the Boholt was put before 1818 is quite unknown. In the Lancashire Quarter Sessions for 1657, Robert Dunster indented before the Parliamentary Commissioners for the return of his cattle. Which side impounded them is unstated. South East Lancashire is replete with vaccaries: oxen were an important source of power for agricultural machinery and transport. To compound the confusion the area roundabout Boholt is frequently identified with Walshaw Lane, although the late Nineteenth Century church graces the hill a mile to the north west, (where other 'mills' are to be found.) ]] da — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.168.208.42 (talk • contribs)
It is true that following industrialisation in and around Bury, Bolholt was the location of a textile works or factory (or 'mill' in local parlance) but it was a settlement - a named community - before giving its name to the works. As can be seen in the following baptism record, Bolholt continued to be a place of abode, not just work.
