Bolton town centre, 1961
One of Bolton’s much-missed town centre pubs, the Commercial Hotel, features in this photograph from 1961.
It shows the road being dug up on the corner of Victoria Square which at that time was open to traffic. In the background is the former Bolton Evening News building on Mealhouse Lane.
Crompton Place shopping centre now stands on the right with Marks and Spencer down on the left
