IT was a clever move by Bolton Hospice to open not only a charity shop in Astley Bridge but also a café
there.
The Old Bank Café in Hillview Road not only offers somewhere for charity shoppers to eat but is just opposite the Asda store.
It could easily become just the place for those with an eye for a bargain to shop, and enjoy coffee and cake.
Charity shops these days need to be astute businesses and this latest venture by such an important local charity shows that they know just what is the average shopper’s cup of
tea.
