Awww Smithills Coaching House - sad they’ve turn it into houses, was my first weekend job, which seemed to mainly be sweeping peas up off the floor. Not great food but was ok. 

Used it frequently when i used to live round there & missed it when it closed.

It certainly wasn't fine dining, but the steak or mixed grill was usually a decent feed and it wasn't expensive.

Shame that lardy bent councillor was involved.

Went to Sharples and pretty sure the swimming teacher got sent down for being a nonce. Surname began with S. Anyone else confirm?

When I went, there was a Sharrock who liked looking at the girls in the changing rooms. Is all I'm saying.

Leon's Cafe on corner of Manchester Road and Bridgeman Place. Used to spend the hour between finishing Day Release and starting Night School in there. Great juke box.

Beryl Stone taught me too. Wednesday nights at Moss Street's Bolton Dolphins Swimming Club.

SMC (Shirt Manufacturing Co) shop which sold fancy Northern Soul type shirts.

Railway bridges, one between Johnson St and Trinity St and the other between Moncrieffe St and Manchester Road. Great for standing over the old steam trains and then going back to grandma's to have shit taken out of your eyes!

Hot Beef Barms at Cafe Boulevard in Market Hall. Usually cheap if you were a mate of Jonathon, the owner's son.

You aren't from Bolton if you haven't been nonced up by a teacher.

We had the option of being touched by Mr Donley at Moorgate or twatted by Mr Smith at Tonge Moor.

Our PE teacher got caught spying on girls in the changing room, when he was rumbled they took his pc from home with thousands of indecent images.  Think he ended up doing a bit of bird for it.

Mr Curran Mount St Joseph’s 2003 ish. Was on the front of the BEN.

suprisingly enough he was a decent PE teacher, like that one off Kes but nonceier
