I WOULD like to thank everyone who came to the plaque unveiling service at the Royal Bolton Hospital on Sunday, March 1.
The memorial service was in remembrance and thanksgiving of all those who lives and died at Townley's Workhouse.
In particular I would like to thank Shaw and Sons for their generosity in donating the plaque an Tony Costello from Seddon Construction, who gave up his time to lay the plaque.
Despite the weather more than 100 people came along to pay their respects.
Cllr Martin Donaghy,
Mayor of Bolton
