MEMBERS of Halliwell Local History Society will celebrate Bolton's industrial heritage -- and remember the town's sporting greats.
They will be joined by six members of the Wanderers team from the 1950s at an exhibition on cotton at the Mere Hall, in Merehall Street on Sunday, March 17. The players -- who featured in Bolton's 1958 FA Cup final victory -- and other members of the squad were known at the time as the "cotton town heroes".
Ron Hartle, Bryan Edwards, Dennis Stevens, Tommy Banks, Ralph Gubbins and Eddie Hopkinson will join the society in remembering one of Bolton's greatest decades.
