I like that place, really good, if the proposed development does happen and the view from the windows there is of a street leading up to the town hall , rather than the current view of people asleep outside primark , I reckon it will be goldmine

This gets forgotten too much, by most of us probably. But the architecture around the town centre is stunning all over the place. Much of it is hidden, or you get distracted by the terrible shops on the ground floor. Look up all round the town, even Bradshawgate, and the buildings are stunning…..just dirty, overgrown and not looked after. Damn shame really, some really good youtube vids of people very impressed with that aspect of the town..

The outside of the building opposite Elephant and Castle, and Prestons ring shop building plus a few more if you think about them would be worth a look if you could get inside.

September 11, 20241 yr Is this the building that had a swastika mosaic in the tiled floor? Caused a bit of controversy. Edited September 11, 20241 yr by jayjayoghani

I remember learning the Kinder Scout trespass. In my defence, I left at 17 & have never moved back. All my family live in Scotland now. Love Bolton & get back when I can, but I probably know more folklore tales about the Black Isle than my hometown. Always remember the ghost of Smithills though. And the pub that couldn’t think of a name in time in Harwood.

Could always see over to winter hill from the smaller one behind my house. Will do 👍 Think I’ll stay over that way next time I’m down for a game in the Autumn. Another classic

And the pub that couldn’t think of a name in time in Harwood. Fair enough. I probably grew up in a generation that taught you about it with a proper passion If you’re ever back go up Coal Pit Road as @Boby Brno says Please don’t tell me you don’t know about Scotsman’s Stump either
September 13, 20241 yr Whilst rambling o’er Winter Hill, go a little further and visit another little piece of history. https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/137357

Now all they teach kids is about what utter bastards the British have been. I'd like to see those teaching this left wing dogma blindfolded and stood against a wall.
