Middlebrook
This is the name for a new out of town complex, named after a tributary of the
River Croal. The Bolton Wanderers Reebok Stadium is located here, as is a
12 screen multiplex cinema, operated by Vue. The official web site by the
developers Emerson is
http://www.middlebrook-bolton.co.uk.
Also here are 24 hour supermarkets (Asda and Tesco), a Marks and Spencer
Store (opening early 2006). An internet cafe,
Cyberjungle [Note this has now
ceased operating] was also located here, but closed 2002. It lies in the
shadow of Horwich, between the M61 junction 6 and the Beehive
roundabout.
From the car park of the retail park, the modern styled towers of the stadium
dominate the skyline. Bolton
Wanderers play here. There is also a museum (entrance fee payable) tracing
the history of the Wanderers. There is also a book with wartime history of
the team, and
there is more information at
http://www.wartimewanderers.com/.
This view shows some of the retail units, and the shape of Winter Hill is unmistakable.
The park has won a grant, and this sees it into the next phase of development
for a sports village.
The technologically complex is in the process of being built, and a web
site for the Bolton Arena is at http://www.boltonarena.com/. It is
due to open in spring 2001.
