miamiwhite Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 The worst massacre in The English Civil War happened. It was in our town. The Bolton Massacre also known as The Storming of Bolton. Many died at the hands of The Royalist Troops. Leigh White and Ronnie Phillips we’re in the Scythe when it actually kicked off. Quote

DirtySanchez Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 There's a pub near me called the Earl of Derby I won't go in. It's a shithole but that's not the point Quote

Incredible story. Do we know why Bolton was the only town not to be Royalist in the area? They must of known this wasn’t going to end well? Quote

Dr Faustus Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 A few Parliamentarian towns, Manchester too large a fortitude to take. The cowardly attack took place at night without warning, so many civilians died... Didn't it lead to agreed rulings on acts of war? I'd much rather remember the Preston Massacre which occurred on the same day in 2001... Quote
Newton White Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 just looked on wiki and Bolton was named the Geneva of the North 😀😀 Quote

MickyD Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Ani, this calls for a Woooooosh! post. S, I think that was the point. I thought it was funny. Quote
