BOLTON holidays! Do you remember the "WAKES WEEKS?" Last week in June and first in July, every year.
Bolton died, as everyone went to Blackpool, Southport or further afield. Now you can holiday in Bolton at any time of year!
Most shops and offices stay open through the summer. Schools do not close for Bolton holidays and there is little industry left.
Who could want Blackpool or Southport when it is all here, on your doorstep, and at very little expense. So we can't compete with exotic foreign holidays, but there is more to discover locally than you can imagine.
Mrs M A Crompton,
Hartington Road, Bolton.
