See you never knew the delights of The Aquarius club. Bald Afro's chippy or chatted up the young ladys from Mount St Joseph's when it was an all girls convent school. Plenty of action on the tennis courts away from the nuns prying eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then playing football all over Bolton helped aswell. Spent 12 years as a copper in Warrington and know every nook and cranny there, then back in Bolton for last 20 years and pretty much know every area due to current job. Willows Lane was a shithole 40 years ago by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willows Lane was a shithole 40 years ago by the way Aye, I probably covered all areas doing my driving lessons but nothing stuck I know the names of most secondary schools from playing them at footy or similar, but would struggle to pick out on a map where they are - Deane, Withins, Smithills, Canon Slade, Mount St Joseph's etc Not a clue I know where Bolton school is though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
