THIS week we take a look back at a former home of The Bolton News - Mealhouse Lane.

Now home to part of The Gates shopping centre, our former offices are one of many buildings to undergo changes during the years.

Among these images are some interesting shots showing the creation of the Shipgates Centre, which became ‘The Gates’ as we know it today following a £15 million investment by new tenants, Boots.

Readers of a certain age will remember the old C&A store at the top of the street and the A board for the Crown and Cushion should bring back a few memories.
