I am sure that many of you will immediately identify this 1939 picture. Yes, of course, it is the Snydale water tower, which stood on Bolton Road, Hunger Hill, but has now been turned into a home.
However, perhaps the most intriguing part of the photograph is the tram on what was at the time the main road between Bolton and Westhoughton.
Nowadays, following the building of the M61 motorway junction at Westhoughton, this road is cut off not far over the hill you can see, so the only traffic using the road is that going to the houses on what is now a "cul-de-sac".
