Reader Comments for Hell Nook
Hi,
I am struggling to find 'Ellens Nook' in Golborne where my ancestors lived and wondering whether it is the same as Hell Nook but was changed along the years? Any information would be wonderful. Thanks, Clare
Hi Clare
Hell Nook has been called this since 1849.
I can't find any place in the newspaper archive called Ellen's Nook, which sounds similar to Ellenbrook which is a village near Worsley. Known as Ellen Brook in victorian times and could be misread if written in copperplate script.
Regards
David
Thanks for your kind reply, David. I am mystified as I have a 1932 buriel notice at Helens Nook (not Ellens Nook) in Golborne, an 1861 buriel record from Church of St Thomas, Golborne for my family (the Gartons) at Ellens Nook, Golborne and a 1937 birth of Ellen Davis at Ellens Nook, Golborne. I am also wondering if Garton Common is named after family member as they were there for generations. Is there any more digging we can do? Thanks, Clare
Hi Clare
I did some detective work and found some references to `Helen's Nook' in Golbourne'. One mentioned that it was near Bank Heath and another gave an address 'Holly Cottage' as being in Helen's Nook, Golbourne.
I couldn't find anything on old maps but found a 'Holly Cottage' on a 1960 Map which is on Hell Nook. This is near an area on old maps called Banks Heath.
This means you were right and Hell Nook and Helens Nook are one and the same.
I'm guessing an early mapmaker abbreviated Helens Nook and the name stuck. This is odd as there are no references to Hell Nook at all in the archive. Only Helen's Nook.
According to the newspaper Archive, Garton Common is named after a farm that is normally named after the original farmer. It had 12 acres of land. Looking at Google Maps the farmhouse is still there.

The most prolific Garton in the newspaper archive is William Garton who was on the Golborne Parochial Committee during the 1880s
Thank you David for so kindly taking the time to delve deeper into Ellen's Nook. I am so thrilled you sorted it out after all.
William Garton would have been my great uncle!
If you google Gartons Limited you will find they were a very wealthy family with a huge factory with contacts all around the world through John, who was the inventor! Enjoy.
Again thanks,
Clare
