Bygone Bolton

Not bad this one, might be of interest to gloss, The Odeon 2..35secs in

There is a website here for anyone interested that has lot's of old pictures of Bolton.

The website isn't the best so you really need to have a good look around the site, you will find more going to the index link and looking up all the different parts of Bolton and the surrounding areas!  

Thanks for the video Culcheth, quite enjoyed that   

No problem ... Boggers 

Beautiful town.

Thanks for that Banksy. I've watched it twice already. Blew a few cobwebs away that one.  

That video made me cry, Banks, you bad man.

Can you imagine a bunch of old farts sitting round in 40 years time reminiscing about how great the town used to be after watching "Bygone Bolton 2010 - 2015"?

"Ooh look, there's Poundland!"

"Look! A mobile phone shop!"

"Ah, the Half-Price Jewellers! I remember it well..."

"Oh, The Pound Bakery. Their pasties were sooooo good, almost like they had actual meat in 'em."

"Look! Another mobile phone shop!"

"And there's a pound shop"

"Look! Another mobile phone shop.....again!"

Bolton's shit.

This one is more modern, with Halliwell,Heaton,Deane,Daubhill,Great Lever and Town Centre mostly featured.

There's also some of Nats stuff pictured in the Museum.

Bolton might be a shithole nowadays but it's where we were brought up. We all have happy memories of our old stomping grounds when we were kids. Friday night when we got our spending money ( sixpence ) and headed for the corner shop to treat ourselves to Spangles and Root beer.

It's what we are.

Had a good chuckle at that!   

I'm ready for him.

I've lived in Burnley and it was fucking grim.

It made Halliwell look like the Vegas strip..........

I lived up Tonge Moor in my youth.

Where you were either a Criminal

Or you hid them
