Hi Barb, There are several places scattered about the UK, with the name Bolton or with Bolton in their name. I've been jotting them down for a little while, as I've spotted them. You'll see there's more than one in what was Cumberland. Here's my list so far: Bolton Lancashire (officially, sadly, now in Gtr Manchester) Bolton-le-Moors historical name for Bolton or parts of Bolton Great Bolton -do- Little Bolton -do- Bolton le Sands Lancashire, north of Morecambe Bolton Green Lancashire, Charnock Richard Bolton-by-Bowland Lancashire, Ribble Valley Bolton-by-Bolland (old name for the above, was Yorkshire) Bolton Yorkshire, between York and Driffield Bolton Upon Dearne Yorkshire, between Barnsley & Doncaster Bolton Abbey Yorkshire, between Skipton & Blubberhouses Bolton Bridge Yorkshire, between Skipton & Blubberhouses Bolton-on-Swale Yorkshire, between Catterick & Scorton Bolton Percy Yorkshire, between Tadcaster & Selby Castle Bolton Yorkshire, Wensleydale, s.w. of Richmond Bolton with Adgarley Cumbria, Urswick Bolton Cumbria, between Appleby & Penrith Bolton Low Houses Cumbria, between Cockermouth & Carlisle Bolton Northumberland, west of Alnwick Bolton Scotland, east of Musselburgh, East Lothian There are probably others, it would be interesting to know.
