Haydock
Haydock is a village within the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, in Merseyside, England. Historically in Lancashire, it contains all of the Haydock electoral ward and a section of the Blackbrook electoral ward. The village is located roughly mid-way between Liverpool and Manchester and contains the junction of the M6 motorway and the A580 (East Lancashire Road). At the 2001 Census, the village had a population of 11,962.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2001 Census: Haydock )〕 ==History== The placename is from Celtic ''heidd'', meaning "barley, wheat" with the suffix ''-aco'' meaning "place". An undated source refers to the name as ''Heidiog''. The village is often referred to by the colloquial name of 'Yick', and its inhabitants may be referred to as 'Yickers'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Haydock: Pre-20th-Century History )〕 Haydock was one of the United Kingdom's richest areas in coal and coal mining, having up to 13 collieries working at one time. The last colliery in Haydock – Wood Pit – closed in 1971, bringing to an end coal mining in the area. This site had been the scene of a Mining accident explosion on 7 June 1878 which a subsequent Report of the Inspector of Mines concluded claimed the lives of 189 men and boys. Among them were forty-five-year-old Nathan Boon and his five sons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=List of the Victims of The Wood Pit Explosion Haydock, 1878 )〕 According to GenUKI 15 victims were not included in the Inspector's report but their names "appeared in the Coroner's Inquest and in some cases in the burial registers". If included, the final death toll would have been 204. Surrounded by agricultural farmland, much of the village's expansion was due to mining and canal transport. In the early 1900s Haydock had no fewer than three railway stations - Haydock, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Haydock Park - along the line which passed through from St.Helens to Lowton.
