About Poolstock

Poolstock forms part of Wigan's residential sprawl, easily reached via the A49 from the town centre or Junction 25 of the M6. The area sits amongst typical Lancashire flatlands dotted with former colliery sites, now largely residential estates. With over 200 EV charging points across greater Wigan and excellent motorway links to Manchester, Liverpool, and Preston, it serves as a convenient base for exploring the northwest. The preserved pit head wheel from the old Poolstock Colliery still dominates the skyline, a striking reminder of the area's mining heritage.
