Wonderfully presented! Sadly nostalgic to compare Bolton's beautiful and bleak transformation. Some images were my parents past, some were my own recollections. So much has changed and not always for the positive. I've lived in Canada for over 50 years and yet a visit to Bolton isn't about it's transformation so much as it is about it's past and what has sadly been lost over the years, most of Bolton's progress is neither apparent or positive. I much appreciate Bolton for it's past than it's present.
Are all these Bolton center? My father in laws mother, (wife's grandmother) had an off-licence in Breightmet. There was another nearby, so two off licenses during the war. I'm trying to find some photographs of the shops. Would appreciate any help or direction.
Beautifully presented, dont know idea why i have tears running down my face.
I was born in Bolton in the 60s.
