AWARD-winning picture framing specialist Les Cliff has created an enclave in his town centre shop for lovers of art – and Bolton Wanderers.

The 58-year-old owner of Framearound has framed a signed Wanderers shirt of the latest kit which occupies pride of place in his outlet at the top of Bank Street, Bolton.

As he prepares to celebrate 30 years in the picture framing business in the Bolton area, Mr Cliff is offering to reduce the price of shirts framed for Wanderers fans with season tickets from £145 to £99.

Other attractions in the corner of his shop include limited edition prints of a painting by Bernard McMullen of the former home of Wanderers, Burnden Park, and another of the current stadium, when it was known as The Reebok.

Mr Cliff also has a print of the famous L S Lowry classic, “Going to the Match”, an iconic image by the Salford artist of crowds flocking to Burnden Park.

He also issued a special thank you to Marie Walsh, the owner of Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe, in Churchgate. She loaned him pictures of the Wanderers from yesteryear to augment his display.

Team photographs from 1893, 1926, 1953 and 1977 have been adorning his wall.

The photographs are part of a large collection of Wanderers photographs originally belonging to Mrs Walsh’s father-in-law, Robert Walsh. “I am very grateful to Marie for loaning me those pictures,” said Mr Cliff, who launched his business in the Kwik Save store in Farnworth in 1985.

“The photographs show the Wanderers in their pomp and formed an important part of my mini-exhibition.”

Mr Cliff relocated his business to Market Street, Farnworth in 1992, before taking over the current shop, which had been run as Picturesque, in 1999 and rebranding it Framearound.

Framearound was recently voted the most-loved picture framing outlet in the UK in a competition run by BestOfBolton.
