MRS Pat Williams (nee Shone), of Heaton Road, Bradley Fold, Bolton, says that she is an avid reader of Looking Back and wonders if anyone can tell her why "Little Lolla" in Atherton was so called.

"It was situated at the corner of Bag Lane and Market Street, and was in a dip, along with Wrend's fish shop and one other. A lady with a beret and glasses often sat on a stool while serving us sweets from pretty dishes."

If anyone can help, please drop me a line.
