Haslam Park and White Bank School were once part of White Bank Estate which was simply a farm.  The house came into the possession of the Haslam family in 1871 when bought by William Haslam.  The house and grounds remained in the possession of this family until 1922 when the estate was presented to the town as a school and park by Mr. Lewis Haslam M.P.  and the school was opened shortly after.

Haslam Park quickly became very popular and remains so today with its excellent tennis courts and bowling greens. There is also a magnificent view of the surrounding district and the moors beyond.  Standing out is the fine sandstone building which is Bolton School.
