The area round Waterloo Street, Bolton, is now industrial, but there was a time, not all that long ago, when it was full of streets where people lived.

This picture, taken in August, 1968, when a lot of demolition was taking place, showed "Old doors of every shade and tint providing a useful safety barrier outside these doomed houses off Waterloo Street - and make the thoroughfare as colourful as an artist's palette."
