Isn't the commute into Manchester absolutely horrific?

Yes

Wasn't there some bloke wandering around on Friday with a gun?

Was going to say "don't shoot the messenger", but I guess he might!

He was on the border with Chorley. Keeping riff raff out.

Potential for thunder storms again at weekend. 

Could wash another chunk of Horwich away.

3rd world shithole 

Good pubs 

Not sure about tight knit community 

Would happily live there but I don't have to commute anywhere and certainly wouldn't want to into Manchester or on the m60 

Didn't know Middlebrook was the UK's biggest retail park

And Lee Lanes shops are ran by an Albanian 

I'd move back though

Which when you consider I live in the 26th most desirable place to live in the UK is quite the endorsement

I'd never move back to Bolton.

Or Horwich.

😁😁😁😁

Give over.

The biggest retailer in Little Hulton is a market stall selling Carlotti jackets.

I bet you all wear half sovereign rings and clap when the plane lands.

The Bay Horse on a fridat tea time is all I'm saying. Like a creche with parents 3 bottles deep into a bottle of blue

Daniella looking round Horwich this morning.

"Tight-knit community"

Is that estate agent speak for inbred?

I think that only applies in little lever. 

 

There’s not a high number of surnames in Horwich

I think ‘tight-knit’ means kick one, they all limp. In Horwich, it’s kick one, they all laugh.

I will say that culturally, Horwich is nowhere near as diverse as suburbs such as Farnworth, Little Hulton, Deane, Great Lever.

 

Its an ace place to live, moved about 4 years ago. Should have moved way earlier.

Although.....im on the boarder of blackrod, and its ace.

Pubs are decent and couple of decent places for a meal.

Take-aways are crap though.

The people are decent...a little Village mentality ish, but you have loads of people come in from outsdise of HTown now anyway.

Although you read on facebook groups about the amount of crime and it going down-hill....its like a crimeless haven compared to BL1 and majority of Bolton.

The roads in and out of the place are and have been a joke for almost 2 years now though.

40 mins to get to bottom of Chorley Old road many days, joke.

Went through Beckenham yesterday and it really reminded me of Horwich, odd mix of shops - huge odds and sods hardware shop, independent butty shops etc Some lovely pubs/bars some total rotters.

Difference is it doesn't have the lovely hills, but it did have David Bowie so swings and roundabouts.
