IN 1959, Bill Newton emigrated to Australia at the age of 22. But before that, he was the Bolton Mayor's chauffeur.
He has sent me this photograph of him with the Mayoral car, taken in the old ambulance station yard (certainly different to the new Mayor's car).
"My best mate was the Mayor's attendant, Henry Gilliver," he tells me. "What a lovely man."
