Lostock is a mostly residential district of Bolton in Greater Manchester, England. It lies west of Bolton town centre and northwest of Manchester.〔(The AA Route Planner ). URL accessed 22 November 2007.〕 Historically part of Lancashire, Lostock is bounded by Deane to the southeast, Markland Hill to the northeast and the Middlebrook development, including Bolton Wanderers' football ground, the Macron Stadium, to the west. Lostock, alongside Heaton and Edgworth, is known for being one of the most expensive places to live in Bolton. ==History== The name derives from Old English ''hlose'' a pig and ''stoc'' meaning a farm, usually 'stock' or 'Stoke' in place-names, but here referring to a pigsty. Another source suggested that the name is derived from Celtic, ''llostog'' meaning beaver, inferring the site of a stream where beavers were found, the reasoning due to the proliferation of Brythonic and Celtic place-names in Lancashire.〔(Photos and information about Lostock ). URL accessed 22 November 2007.〕 It has been variously recorded as Lostoc in 1212; Lastok in 1279; Lostok in 1292; Lostoke in 1301 and Lostock and Lostocke in the 16th century.〔 In the Middle Ages Lostock was part of the barony of Manchester. It was subsequently held by Richard de Hulton and passed to the Andertons and the Blundells of Ince.〔 Lostock Hall was an Elizabethan manor house built for the Anderton family in 1563. The hall was demolished in 1824, but the gatehouse remains and is a Grade II * listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=476052 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lostock, Bolton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
