AN AWARD-winning Bolton chef is hoping to rekindle some happy memories by re-opening a historic pub.
Michael Hales has taken over the popular Top Lock pub, on the Leeds and Liverpool canal in Wheelton, which he used to visit on family trips from Bolton as a youngster.
Mr Hales, who also runs a pub in Pleasington, near Blackburn, said: “The Top Lock is a beautiful pub in a stunning location with lots of potential.
“I can remember many happy days out here as a little boy with my family but I never dreamed one day I would be its licensee.”
