Bulk is an area of Lancaster, Lancashire, England. [1] It was formerly a township and a civil parish. The placename Bulke was recorded in 1346. The manor of Neuton was recorded in this area in the Domesday Book but by 1318 Newton was described as a hamlet within Bulk. [2]

The civil parish of Bulk was in Lancaster Rural District until 9 November 1900 when most of it (179 houses) was incorporated into the civil parish of Lancaster, with 9 houses going into the civil parish of Quernmore. [3] [4]

The population of the civil parish of Bulk was 116 in 1871, 117 in 1881, and 671 in 1891. [5]

Bulk lies north of the city centre of Lancaster, and on the same side, the east, of the River Lune. The parish extended along the river to a point south of Halton on the other bank, the boundary then turning south and curving round towards Lancaster.

There was a church mission room in Bulk by 1914. [2] The mission's World War I war memorial has been relocated to the redundant St John's Church in Lancaster, and carries the names of 33 men from Bulk district, 30 of whom survived. [6] The 11th Lancaster Scout group was based at the mission in the 1940s. [7]
