Haydock is a suburban ward in the borough of St. Helens, in Merseyside though historically part of Lancashire. It grew up around coal mining and industry, and today presents a mix of terraces, newer housing and industrial estates with a strong local community memory of its mining past.
The ward is best known for Haydock Park Racecourse, a major regional sporting venue that brings significant crowds and a seasonal economic boost, while close motorway links make it a handy commuter base for Liverpool and Manchester. Despite being close to larger urban centres it retains local pubs, social clubs and green pockets that give it a semi-rural, village-like feel.
