It’s a bit battered but then this photo is nearly 90 years old. It shows Bolton’s Great Moor Street Station in 1936.
Great Moor Street Station, Bolton, 1936 (Picture: Newsquest)
At the time it was central to the town’s rail connections taking passengers all round the country.
The station closed in 1954, although some ‘holiday specials’ ran from there for a further four years.
It was demolished in 1966 and the site would later be developed first for The Water Place and later for Morrison’s car park.
