DO you have an old box of photographs that will bring back memories of old Bolton?

And would you like to see some of them used in our series of souvenir publications, produced to mark 140 years of this newspaper?

Did your great-grandparents, grandparents or even parents run an old grocer's shop, newsagents, pharmacy, general store or pub in the town?

Do you have memories of them or photographs that you would like to share with our readers?

Over the series of 10 publications, we would like to focus on a true cross-section of Bolton society and show the diverse nature of the people that enabled the town to thrive.

If you would like a part of Bolton's past preserved for posterity, send in your pictures and stories to Andrew Mosley, The Bolton News Features Department, Newspaper House, Churchgate, Bolton, BL1 1DE, or email amosley@ theboltonnews.co.uk
