I WOULD like to thank the Bolton Evening News for your support in our campaign to get recognition for the Bolton-born author, Allen Clarke.
Sadly, there has, so far, been no response to my letter of a week ago, but we press on.
We would like to thank the Bolton Civic Trust, and especially Mr Lindsay who has kindly discussed Allen Clarke with them, and informs me that the Trust have voted unanimously to place a Blue Heritage Plaque near his birthplace in Bolton. We are most grateful to you.
His grand daughter, Shirley, and I will be attending a Local History Day at Mere Hall on Sunday, May 18, and we would be very happy to meet anyone with memories of Allen, or indeed any information at all about him and his early life in Bolton. Thank you once again.
