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.

“If nobody knows you that does not argue that you be unknown, nobody knew Ida when they no longer lived in Boston but that did not mean that she was unknown.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
