Description
Bolton's rich history is woven into the fabric of its industrial past. From its establishment as a textile town in Lancashire, the town grew to become a major cotton manufacturing centre during the Industrial Revolution. As the industry evolved, so did the town, with engineering, paper making, bleaching, and dyeing emerging alongside textile machinery production. Behind the face of modern Bolton lie colourful stories waiting to be uncovered. The history of this Greater Manchester town is filled with remarkable characters, unusual events, and surprising locations. Discover how Bolton obtained a plentiful supply of clean drinking water during its rapid expansion in the 19th century, or explore the birth pangs of local democracy after 1792. With Secret Bolton, you'll uncover the lesser-known tales that make this town's history so fascinating. From aviation tragedies to the mark left by an American geologist, this book offers a unique insight into the life and times of Bolton.
