A BOLTON-based project manager is being sought for the Greater Manchester Industrial Heritage Initiative.
European funding has been secured in principle for the post, which pays £16,575 to £19,260 on a fixed-term contract until June, 1998.
The advertisement for the job says the initiative offers a tremendous opportunity for further development of the tourism potential in one of the region's key strengths.
The initiative is a public and private sector partnership developed by the Greater Manchester Districts Tourism Forum (which includes local councils such as Bolton) and the Greater Manchester Visitor and Convention Bureau.
The "innovative person" who gets the job will probably be based in Bolton Council's leisure services department.
The Evening News reported this week that the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester and Helmshore Textile Museum, Rossendale are to be loaned important industrial heritage items which have not been on view since the closure of Tonge Moor Textile Museum in 1993.
They include the spinning mule built and operated by Samuel Crompton, the Spinning Jenny invented by James Hargreaves and the Water Frame invented by Sir Richard Arkwright.
