I LIVED in Bolton until December 1938, when I came here to find work. I worked at Dobson & Barlow, Kay Street, until its closure in January, 1933. I lived in Firwood Fold -- Samuel Crompton was born at one of the other houses. I have been to the Museum and his house in Hall i'th' Wood, but would like to know where he is buried. People ask me about him and I tell them I do not know. Can anyone help?
