Old Boston was a colliery in Haydock, Lancashire, England.
The colliery was closed, due to an underground fire. The site of the colliery was then used for many years as a training centre for National Coal Board employees. The site of the colliery and training centre is now Old Boston Trading estate, located adjacent to the A580 East Lancashire road.
Famous quotes containing the word boston:
“Any balance we achieve between adult and parental identities, between children’s and our own needs, works only for a time—because, as one father says, “It’s a new ball game just about every week.” So we are always in the process of learning to be parents.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion, Dennie, and Palmer Wolf. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)
