AMONG the pictures of Bolton (but sent from America) I used on Tuesday, was one with the caption "Deane Road".
A reader has taken me to task, claiming that the picture was of Wigan Road, Deane. The reader may well be correct, but what didn't appear in the paper was the fact that the words "Deane Road, Bolton" were put on the original picture at the time it was taken, and that is why I identified the picture as such.
In any event, Wigan Road is simply an "extension" of Deane Road, leading out of town. But let's have it right.
The reader says it was a "cracker" of a mistake, and "silly". Perhaps a mistake, but under the circumstances hardly a "cracker" or "silly"!
