The Bolton News: Crompton House was home to Bolton's leading fashion emporium, Moyle's

Richard Moyle’s was based in Crompton House at the corner of Great Moor Street and Bradshawgate.

It was the town’s best known fashion emporium for more than 80 years before closing in 1960. At one time it employed more than 60 staff including sales assistants, dressmakers and milliners.

The premises were later home to John Willie (Furnishers) Ltd.
