Poolstock is the name of both the road and area of Wigan. The road, which borders the Poolstock neighbourhood to the south, actually has several other names. To the south west it is known as Poolstock Lane. To the north east on the other side of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal (main branch) it is known as Chapel Lane. (To make matters even more confusing the road known today as Poolstock is shown on 19th century maps as Poolstock Lane!).
Nellie Harrison (b. 1904) resided at 124 Poolstock when she died in 1940.
Robert George Dawson, to whom Henry Harold Harrison was apprenticed, resided at 18 Poolstock at the time of the 1901 census.
50 Poolstock was the residence of Ada Louisa Lowe (and most likely the home of her parents and unmarried siblings) at the time of her marriage to John Harrison (b. 1873) in August 1903. This was only a few blocks from the Honeysuckle Inn where John Harrison was enumerated in 1901, and a few blocks from the home of John’s parents in 1901 at 92 Pool Street.
