Where the men lived

 

In the 1911 Census, addresses were commonly given according to terrace names rather than street names.  Some of these terraces can still be identified from plaques, but some plaques have been removed and some terraces have been demolished to be replaced by new developments.  Please see the bottom of the page for more information about the terraces.

The markers indicate approximately where each man was living at the time they enlisted.  Use the mouse wheel to scroll in and out of the map.

Where the men died

All the Lostock Hall men killed between 1914 and 1921 are shown on this map.  Use the mouse wheel to scroll in and out of the map.  See the timeline pages for maps of where men were killed in each year of the War.
