Bolton has always been proud of its education establishments and this Looking Back picture selection takes a look at a selection of photos marking one of them.
The Bolton Institute of Technology. the forerunner to the current University of Bolton, attracted students from across the North West and beyond.
Students graduated with nationally-recognised qualifications including diplomas and degrees - their time in Bolton having set them on their way to good careers.
If you were a BIT student and have pictures of your time there or have memories you would like to share, we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment
