The name is supposed to be derived from the Old English "tang" or "twang" meaning a fork in a river.[1] Tonge comprises two areas, namely Tonge Fold and Tonge Moor. Tonge Fold sits upon the River Tonge, a region of whose banks is a geological site of special scientific interest (SSSI).[2][3]Historically a part of Lancashire, it was once part of the township of Tonge with Haulgh.[4] By the end of the 19th century Tonge was home to a coal mine.[5] EducationThere are three primary schools in Tonge. These are Moorgate Country Primary School,[6] Tonge Moor County Primary School[7] and Castle Hill Primary School.[8] Tonge does not have any secondary schools within its borders, though schools like Canon Slade, Turton School and Sharples School are popular choices around the area. LandmarksA noteworthy building in Tonge is Hall i' th' Wood, an early 16th-century manor house, and once the home of Samuel Crompton in the 18th century. The building was bought by William Lever (later Lord Leverhulme) in 1899, and after it was restored, he gave it to Bolton Corporation in 1900.[4] References1. ^A Bolton website 2. ^{{cite web |title=Tonge River Section citation sheet |work=English Nature |url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1000767.pdf |accessdate=2006-10-27}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Map of River Tonge Section SSSI |work=Nature on the Map |url=http://www.natureonthemap.org.uk/map.aspx?map=sssi&feature=1000767,sssi,HYPERLINK,LABEL |accessdate=2006-10-27}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |editor1-last=Farrer |editor1-first=William |editor2-last=Brownbill |editor2-first=J. |title=Tonge with Haulgh |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=53039 |work=A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 5 |publisher=British History Online |year=1911 |pages=255–260 |accessdate=17 August 2010}} 5. ^{{citation|url=http://www.pdmhs.com/1896%20Lists/1896-80.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006230321/http://www.pdmhs.com/1896%20Lists/1896-80.htm|dead-url=yes|archive-date=2007-10-06|title=1896 coal mines list|publisher=pdmhs.com|accessdate=2009-12-06}} 6. ^Moorgate primary school government profile 7. ^Tonge Moor Primary school government profile 8. ^Castle Hill primary school government profile 1 : Areas of Bolton |
