The name Middlebrook is derived from the watercourse the Middle Brook which starts at Red Moss, the mossland south of Horwich. Further downstream the Middle Brook joins with other tributaries and becomes the River Croal which runs through Bolton and eventually joins the River Irwell at Kearsley.
Middlebrook has retail, leisure and business parks and it is also the location of the University of Bolton Stadium, home of Bolton Wanderers F.C., and Horwich Police Station.
