Looking Back: Glimpse of life on Newport Street and Victoria Square from the 60's

A view from Bolton Town Hall in 1964.

You are looking down on the corner of Newport Street and Victoria Square.

This photo is a great record of life in Sixties’ Bolton with the two telephone boxes, Zebra crossing and double decker bus - anyone remember Abbey biscuits which are advertised on the bus?

In the top left of the picture you can see the Bolton Wine Shop - were you ever a customer?

No but I was occasionally a patron of Yates’s and Wood St.
