It was a damp day when this photo was taken in Nelson Square, Bolton, in 1977.
Crompton’s statue appears to be turning its back on the photographer.
Do you remember the Sun Alliance building being on the square? There were certainly far fewer clubs and bars in this part of Bolton compared to today.
