I HAVE received a request for pictures of a couple of local pubs. Sue Johnson, of 26, Old Doctors, Tottington, Bury, BL8 3ND, tells me that her cousin in Holland (Barbara Jagger Smith) has been trying for some time now to track down photographs of The Dog & Snipe, Folds Road, Bolton, and the Mill Hill Tavern, Mill Hill Street, Bolton, both of which were demolished in the early 1970s. They once belonged to her grandfather Samuel Smith, and her father and aunts were born there.
The breweries concerned have been contacted, without any success to date. So can anyone else help? If so, you can contact Mrs Johnson at the address given above.
