Maps
A Map of Ulnes Walton c1847. This
link doesn't always work so you may have to look for it manually - go
to the site, search for co-ordinates and enter '350785,420530'. Alternativly
search for Leyland and use your sense of direction (which is much more
fun... see how accurate you actually are)

The Pinfold mentioned on the site is (I believe) the sort of triangular-ish
field opposite Bullens Farm, under the 'A' of the part-word Walton.
The modern day Ulnes Walton Lane on this map is the road at Lostock
Brow (the Bridge) going northwards and then veering off to the right
at the Y junction. It carries on past Harrisons Farm (Top Right).
Aerial Photo's
Aeral images at www.multimap.co.uk - On some you can even make out a few roads that were removed when excavating the Prisons as well as the huge 'scar' left by the late 20th century Gas Pipe-Line. Best viewed at scale of 1:10000

The population of Ulnes Walton has only recently increased, due mainly to the two Prisons. In the 1800's the population was pretty constant, being usually between 450 and 550. In contrast Leyland has seen quite a surge in population. Of course the proposed New Town helped the modern influx of people, but prior to this the same happened in the early 1900's when the lure of Leyland Motors was to great for many. So from Leyland being 4 times as big as Ulnes Walton in 1801 (or in otherwords Ulnes Walton being a quarter of the size of Leyland, population wise), 100 years later it was over 12 times as populated and still growing fast. •11
