THROUGHOUT the many years of its existence the BEN has been the main focal point of Boltonians and their neighbours.
I can still remember, as a child in the 1920s, the paper vendors calling out at the street corners "Green final!" or "Last Buff Edition!"
It was the bonding agent that cemented the community together. It still is; for through the magic of the internet and the BEN web pages, I am able to keep in touch with my birth place and the affairs of its lads and lassies.
I would like to think that if they are to capture Bolton's historic treasures on camera that they would somehow include the News. Even if it was only our friend Mr Miffy the old cartoon character.
