WE have had some great reactions to recent photographs of Bolton town centre which we have featured in Looking Back.

It seems that we all love to remember what the town used to be like in times go by.

So, to stir up a few more memories we have unearthed this picture from our archives of a normal day in Victoria Square in 1969.

Back then, two-way traffic flowed past - and round - the town hall.

The ceremonial elephants were still on top of the two bus shelters in front of the town hall steps and fountains played either side of the war memorial.

Look at it closely and this picture offers something for everyone ranging from the Bolton buses in their traditional maroon and cream livery to the Securicor van which looks like it has come straight from an episode of the Sweeney.

If you have any photographs of Bolton town centre in days gone by, then we’d love to be able to share them with Looking Back readers along with your memories.
