AN exhibition tracing the history of Bolton and its town centre Bank Street Chapel over the past 300 years is to be held in the chapel from September 14 to 20.

Items on display have been assembled by the chapel's history committee under the guidance of Cliff Stockton and Peter Nightingale of the Halliwell Local History Society.

The exhibition, which is free, will be opened on the first day at 10am by Les Gent, former BEN editor who writes the paper's popular Looking Back column.
