This photograph sent to me by Mrs N. Elcoat, of Dales Brow, Sharples, is of the Bolton Market Hall football team.

They are pictured with either a Bolton Markets (perhaps Ashburner Street) team or a local police team, probably in the 1950s.

She tells me that her father Arthur Allen, is second from the left in checked shirts, that Bill Sumner, who had the weighing machine stall, is next to the man in the hat, and Jimmy Taylor, on the front row with a white beard, died in the Top Storey Club fire.
