From the Evening News, April 14, 1903: work in connection with the Trinity-st. new station appears to be making satisfactory headway, although the bad weather has necessarily interfered to some extent with the bulk of the undertaking as it entails outdoor labour.

The Easter holidays have witnessed, with the exception of today, an increase in passenger traffic, and notwithstanding the difficulties which had to be encountered owing to alterations, the officials coped admirably with the heavy work.

With regard to the station buildings, matters are at an advanced state. The new booking hall will occupy a position directly under the clock tower, which is partially constructed and which will have four dials. The entire building is being beautifully furnished, and the large windows afford ample light.

COTTON in Lancashire was doomed to decline. Nothing could realistically have saved the industry on its 1930s or even 1960s scale.

The question posed by the Bolton union leaders' mission to London today is whether the industry can survive at all.

For 70 years the cotton trade has been slipping through our fingers as Government, management and unions failed to agree how to save it.

Only a shadow of the pre-war industry remains. Bolton's 300-plus mills in the 1930s are now 11 in spinning and half a dozen in weaving.

AFTER six months' hard work to transform a dismal building into a cheerful, comfortable place, the Seabright Convalescent Home at St. Anne's was opened on Saturday by Mr J.N. Briscoe, chairman of Bolton and District Hospital Saturday Committee.

The entire cost is covered by the Bolton Hospital Saturday Scheme, to which they have contributed 2d a week.
