History

[edit]

Including the hamlet of The Dale, Moston was a township in St. Mary on the Hill Parish of Broxton Hundred.^[1]

The present Moston Hall was built in 1789 for Richard Massey^[2] and first used as a military hospital during World War I. A nearby house, known as The Dale, had been built in the 1880s on the Moston Hall estate. Both buildings were purchased by the War Office in 1938 and the site became the Dale Barracks.^[3]

Demography

The population was recorded as 14 in both 1801 and fifty years later in 1851, then 51 in 1901 and rising to 850 by 1951.^[1] According to the 2001 census, Moston had a population of 680,^[4] falling to 642 by the 2011 census.^[5]
