STEP back in time this September as the Heritage Open Day Tours return.
A special tour will take people around Hall i'th' Wood Museum, in which visitors will get to step inside areas normally closed to the public.
This includes the attic.
Originally built as a half-timbered hall in the 16th century and owned by wealthy yeomen and merchants, after 1697 the Hall was rented out to various tenants.
It was during this period that a young Samuel Crompton came to live there with his parents. In 1779 he invented his Spinning Mule, which revolutionised the cotton industry.
The tours, each lasting 45 minutes, will take place on September 11, at 10.30am, noon, 1.30pm and 3pm.
Advance booking is required.
To book call 01204 332185 or email archives@bolton.gov.uk.
More tours of other historic places are set to be announced.
