Golborne history
Toponymy
The name Golborne derives from the Old English golde and burna, and means “stream where marsh marigolds grow” The earliest settlements in the present-day town were on banks of the Millingford Brook .
Early history
A settlement at Golborne has existed since at least the time of the Domesday book . The manor was held in two moieties, half by the Lords of Lowton, and the half by the Golbornes up to the reign of Henry III .
Recent history
The town grew during the Industrial Revolution as the mining industry expanded . On 18 March 1979 there was a methane explosion at the town’s colliery caused by an electrical spark, which took the lives of ten miners . The location of the former colliery is known locally as the ‘Bonk’ which originated in the migration of Welsh miners to North West coal mines .
